      You should try. If the local council in Ireland will still let you build it the way they did.

      ​@garys_tours it's harder to build a traditional house here ( but all these modern boxes that look like eyesores are popping up everywhere!

      There's nothing wrong with an outhouse. If you'd never had indoor plumbing you didn't know anything else. My grandparents had a farm and didn't get indoor plumbing until the mid 1960's.

      They have beautiful modern houses now; then it was adjusting to being a free state; establishing a government; World War Two; the fifties was all of that; the recent past; no progress yet. That came later with education; new houses; world travel and technology. The old ways are gone and people have much more now, but happiness and contentment have nothing to do with ‘things’. If they lose their religion or as it is expressed: “lose the run of themselves” it would be a tragedy. Values are what count when all is said and done. Being modern and sophisticated can be an empty shell not something that brings contentment or happiness.

      Great comment! Two of my uncles worked on the Shannon Scheme . It was a monumental project at the time to be fair. Mind you it was a long time before rural electrification reached my area in Murroe, Co. Limerick! By a curious turn of events my father who was in the Irish Army during WW2 ('The Emergency' as it was called here) was on guard duty one Winter's night when a German bomber passed overhead. It was lost having been involved in operations against Allied shipping in the Atlantic and was following the River Shannon northwards assuming (incorrectly) that it was the Thames in England. A machine gunner fired on the low flying bomber as it passed and an officer threatened to shoot him if he did not cease firing (according to my father) saying that this plane 'could blow us all to hell!' if it cared to. This plane crashed shortly afterwards in the Silvermine Mountains in Tipperary and its all very well documented. Tough times...

      No it did not , The Shannon scheme was completed in 1929 and electricity from it was supplied to roughly 240,000 premises in towns and cities only. The rural electrification scheme to serve the c. 450,000 rural dwellings and farms only began in the late 1940's and was not completed until the mid 1970's.
      Without electricity most rural dwellings had no running water and most relied on hand operated pumps dotted around the countryside and local wells. Group water schemes only became common in the 1960's and 1970's.

    The rafters have been taken out of this house in the renovation, so there is no attic. Large families, who lived in these houses, also used the attic for sleeping.
