The cabin (really log home) is shaping up. I put a temporary propane heater in the main room this past weekend. It was a great feeling to imagine what the finished project will be like.
I got a bit of good news Monday evening. John Ming (the log cabin specialist), called me about his finding an outhouse! For those of you who do not know, this is the outdoor bathroom facility you will be able to use when you come up for a visit. To stay in step with the time period, corn cobs will be available for cleaning. White and red cobs. I will explain later.
History of the find - On his way to the job site Monday morning, John noticed one of my neighbors was getting ready to demo several buildings. John with his sharp eye for opportunity, stopped and asked if he could salvage the buildings. The owner agreed and this Friday, Roger (the camera man) and I will be assisting him in the process of tear down and/or removal of the buildings. We will remove the little one (4x10) in one piece. The larger building we will tear down, denail and transport.
We will have to determine the right spot for the outhouse. Something down wind for sure.
In North American English, an outhouse (sometimes also called a backhouse or a privy) is a small enclosure around a pit that is used as a toilet. Most outhouses have one or two holes. One well-built example had four large holes and one small hole, for a child.
ow. corn cobs? white and red? Please explain.
