I have never dug a brick privy that was "parged" every brick liner I ever dug was cement free. The cisterns that we dug were parged. I say cistern.

It would be a waste of time to parge a privy from bottom to top. The very bottom is all that is used, have you ever known of a privy that was filled to the top with crap?

Maybe in the tenements when the privy cleaners were on strike.But not in your ever day privy.
just dig it and find out. You cant dig on your computer chair[;)]

wow Rick....no matter where you go on the internet there always has to be some thick-neck redneck want to be.....I guess that would be you. Im sorry that Parge and stucco was mixed up. Probally your sub 100 iq could not process the difference.
