Digging a hole - walls under ground.

[magnetaress]

Probably a very old sewage drain. We still have those made of actual terracotta pipe here. 60+ year old structure. Still in use. Still got spare pipe laying about too. It's how we know. We also looked for it in the ground.

Run water from the house and see if it floods.

On the bright side, it's already excavated if its important.

May have been disused, obsolete, ours are still on the planning maps at cityhall from back then. Got to order that up in person and pay cash to look at them tho. Not stuff on the web.

My mother had to replace hers because it was completely cracked after 60 years of use. What a fucking nightmare that was (and expensive as hell)

I can't wait to see what this turns into.

Fill it with gravel and run a natural gass pipe under it to turn it into a giant 4x4 BBQ?

oof!

Well I'm glad this turned out to be just a bunch of walls and a concrete base with no pipes!

I do worry now for the new wet room installed and plumbed into the old sewer where the old outhouse stood last year!!
