How does plumbing work for this house?

That's what the small balcony is for.

Don't Look Up.

I'm pretty sure there is a central pipe in between the 4 legs at the center of the house. That must carry the pipes.

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

ah i think you are right. it's obscured by the front leg so i didn't see it.

And those pipes connect to where? Gopher holes? This doesn’t seem like it’s close to any municipal utilities. I suppose it could go to some kind of septic system? It all seems pretty inconvenient. Looks neat though.

There is plenty of space under and around it to be able to have a old style septic/leach-field setup. We use that style at my house still since theres no public utility. Basically all a septic is is a big tank buried underground (although in some cases as long as you had some form of liner to prevent cave in you could use that) and then a outflow to send the liquids to a leach-field.

In a post apcolyptic scenario I expect that hardest part of that would be actually pumping or removing the solid waste when the tank is full, would likely need to be a manual pump.

getting water that high though is going to need a pump as well.

If you maintain the bacteria and don’t flush heavy paper products (and definitely not wipes!), a properly designed septic can go decades without needed pumping.

Especially true with the newer aerobic systems.

It's hidden from view in this picture, but there's a wider drain pipe in the center.

Hole in the bottom for poop.

This is actually just a really nice out-house.

Good question...
