If the "fumage" indirectly wafts over to someone else's property, my standard answer of "TOUGH !" applies as the DUMPAGE was not DIRECTLY placed on their property.
Yes. I AM that neighbor.

I agree, but--fortunately--that problem doesn't even occur if the outhouse is properly built and maintained. I have used several, in Georgia and Alaska, and none of them had any detectable odor at all until I went inside them, and even then, it was quite faint. (A local horseman I knew here, the late John Hoagberg, kept his large "three-holder" outhouse active--in the microbial sense--by occasionally throwing some horse manure down into its pit. Even in the subzero winter temperatures here, this kept the pit quite warm, with the microbes consuming the solid and liquid wastes.) |
