Cook Used by permission     [Curator's Comment: These are the words of Mr. Charles Cook; my famous source about Outhouse Digging...]     We've just returned from a 4800 mile, 21 state tour. During the course of the trip, we visited my daughter who just moved to New Jersey. From the deck on the back of their home, I noted something back in the wooded area behind them. I asked what it was. They told me that it was "old George's" hideaway. It seems that George was the former owner of the land that the residential development was built upon.     I walked back there to see it and discovered a really neat place. He has a work shop, a cabin, screened gazebo, frog pond, and...a really neat outhouse. It was built with native stone.     I later met him and had an instant friendship. He was 75, the son of German immigrants. He had been in the business of building municipal sewer systems. He sunk a man hole assembly into the ground for the pit. When he sold the property to developers, he retained about five acres of wooded land that included his get away. Mind you, this is located, barely visible, near homes that range up to $1,000,000.     What else can you see in the images shown? Many times a photo is worth a thousand words and I've only elaborated with a few so why don't you add some "color commentary" to my collection. If your addition is worthy, you will find the quote added on the Comments to the Curator page. Have you seen all the Outhouses yet? Return to the Outhouse Tour by clicking HERE!
