[post_page_title]Down but not out in the outhouse[/post_page_title]
Time to address the elephant in the room… The bathroom, that is – toilets. Many Amish homes DO have indoor plumbing nowadays, with water being pumped by gas-powered engines instead of electricity. Nevertheless, stricter communities like Swartzentruber Amish refuse to adopt modern plumbing.
In the case of toilets, that means using outhouses. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean just a hole cut into a board – “modern” outhouses may sport pretty comfy seating arrangements. Still, Amish life can be a bit paradoxical, with some Swiss Amish living in Indiana residing in expensive brick homes but still using outhouses.
