| I received a very nice Email from Dennis asking if I might be interested in taking a look at the outhouse that he built. He said he looked at outhouses on my web site and then built this one from scratch. I think it turned out great! | |
| First he sent a picture of the Outhouse that he built from a picture that he found on our web site. Then he sent all the rest of the pictures shown above of the detail that went into the construction. | |
| Shown above are some pictures he took from start to finish. Of course if it were functional, there would be a deep hole under it. It is located in Western North Carolina. It is basically 4 x 4 x 7 feet in measurement. | |
| He actually just wanted it as a yard decoration, and then figured he might as well make it usable so he did make the seat hinged and put a five gallon bucket under it just in case he really did need to use it. We suggested he configure it as a Loveable Loo and then use sawdust in buckets to collect the waste. When full, he would place the contents in a compost pile and cover it with fresh hay or straw. He never thought about sawdust, but that did make sense to him. He already has a compost pile that he uses for dog doo doo. He guesses he built a Loveable Loo and did not know that was what it was called. The neighbors sure have made it a conversation piece. He is old enough to remember having a real Outhouse, but this one was more for fun than necessity. | |
| He thought I might like to see it stained so those are the first two pictures at the top of the page. He just wants it shared with someone who would appreciate it. | |
| He mentioned that he has a compost pile for dog do do. Well do NOT mix the dog doo doo with the Humanure. Those are from 2 different animals if you know what I mean. You really need to buy the Humanure Handbook to learn about composting humanure. We sell it here on our web site. | |
| Thanks for visiting the Outhouses of America Tour web site. | |
| 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. For additional comments, begin on this page and click the links to see all the years... | |
