But it would be great to use when I am outside. Better yet, when my DH is outside!(no tracking in)But I live in town and I don't think people would think it was so cute. Plus we wouldn't be allowed to use it.<br /><br />I remember my aunt using her's until she sold the farm. She had inside plumbing, but certain business was done out in the outhouse. I hated to go out there. Her outhouse wasn't like the ones in your pictures. Her looked like a shed and had a concrete floor. I remember the door handle was white porcelin with the little black box that sit on the door and not inside of it. I am sure some of you remember what I am talking about. It was the fanciest outhouse I had ever seen.Meckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519008387064782751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105926661438822664.post-8521017993749080302011-03-03T22:09:55.636-06:002011-03-03T22:09:55.636-06:00LOL!

In fact, when the renovators were putting the new roof on our house last year, I saw them using it! I was horrified because I hadn't swept it out yet that season nor put clean TP out there! But they seemed ok with it and it was convenient for them. lol! We just repainted and reroofed it last summer and it looks brand new now! :)<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105926661438822664.post-73333816087889011552011-03-03T22:01:03.390-06:002011-03-03T22:01:03.390-06:00Aren't outhouses so interesting.

It doesn't have a bathroom, it has a two holer outhouse out back. Yes, it's 2011 and it is still open for business today. I don't think anyone has used the outhouse for many, many years though.foreverdecoratinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278188412961955344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105926661438822664.post-59260995372342215332011-03-03T21:19:22.332-06:002011-03-03T21:19:22.332-06:00I love these photos, and I can just imagine what a...I love these photos, and I can just imagine what a great day it would be on a 4 wheeler flying down the road taking great pictures....sounds like a blast.
