Can you add to some?
Here is a my list:
#1 Cisterns in our basement.
#2 Coal bins
#3 Making our own soap.
#4 A pump in the kitchen to pump water.
#5 Wood burning and cooking stove.
#6 Keeping a pot under the bed at night.
#7 Ice box in the kitchen.
#8 Installing storm windows in the winter.
#9 Wringer washing machines.
#10 Push lawn mowers
#11 Horse blankets on our beds to keep warm.
#12 Raw milk was all we used.
#13 Vegetable garden is a must.

For some of us that was as late as late 50’s.
