ANNVILLE Pa AP Deere shut for most of their existence flew open as sightseers toured backyards and alleys to view outhouse history. Tanya Richter said the First Outhouse Talk and Walk drew interest while Gus Hickok photographed old privies and shared notes on symbols like the half moon and star on doors.

Is Your Basement Crying for Attention
A Frederick brief notes water problems in basements stem from condensation and surface water. Most cases are solvable by DIY fixes like sealing cracks with hydraulic cement and repairing gutters and downspouts. Regrading the property around the foundation can also prevent water intrusion and avoid professional help unless a high water table persists.
