Very true. I remember when I was a kid, back on the farm, in the old house, we had a hand pump beside the sink. The pipe went out into a cistern by the back door. Of course, one had to "prime" the pump with a cup of water to get it going.
AND …. if you didn't leave a full cup of water at the sink for the next priming, you had to go outside and pump a cup full of water from the main cistern pump. AND …. it was cold out there, and snowing, and the cast iron pump handle was cold, and it was uphill to
and from the cistern -
