>In Estonia, falu red is known as Rootsi punane ("Swedish red") and is most common in Western Estonia in the former Coastal Swedish territory.
We invented Falu Red. Red houses is something you got from us. Sorry friend.

>The pigment historically originated from mines at Falun, in the province of Dalarna. It was a side product of calcination of copper ore. Mixed with linseed oil and rye flour, it was found to form an excellent anti-weathering paint.
The earliest evidence of the use of falu red dates from the 16th century. During the 17th century, falu red was commonly used on smaller wooden mansions, where it was intended to imitate buildings with brick facing.
In Swedish cities and towns, wooden buildings were often painted with falu red, until the early 19th century, when authorities began to oppose use of the paint. Increasingly many wooden buildings in urban areas had by then begun to be either painted in lighter colors such as yellow or white, or to be sided with stucco. The number of buildings made of bricks had also increased.

Why do Finns use a Swedish paint for their houses? Get your own paint!

How do people living in such houses deal with wastewater/sewage? Do they have septic tanks installed or what? Also, where do they get their water from?

tfw not a 19th century forest magnate with a big hälsingegård and a bunch of peasants and servants under me whom I treat well to the chagrin of my rich peers
Plumbing works in red houses too. Very rural ones have septic tanks no doubt.

Did you know that farmer peasant girls were said to have really big bossoms? Bossoms means ass.

Well, I just assumed some of those were built before indoor plumbing become a thing, right?
