Maybe you would if you didn't just have the one seater!

Hey our greatest view is from the outhouse. It's no wonder we never think to close the door! We had company stuck here for 10 days during the ice storm and I had to keep reminding myself! Kim

We never close the door either!!! Lucky we can hear anyone driving up...!!

And you're right..the view is fantastic!

Kirk, years ago I had a little place way up on a hillside. I had the throne installed and flushing before any walls went up. Usually my old pick-up was parked in front blocking the view. One day I loaned my pick-up to a friend. As I was sitting their enjoying the view, a car went by on the road just honking and waving at me. Yes, I started on the walls that very day.

Kirk: She's a beaut! Maybe your friends would come visit the facilities if you had a nice little toilet paper holder nearby! Love the job on the rocks, but the way! Jan

-- Jan in CO (Janice12@aol.com), January 20, 2001.

Lets see. What I've learned so far is, views are nice, install another seat for company, when they honk and wave they can see you and having toilet paper is more inviting!!!! Hey great! Thanks for your comments fellow nature lovers!....Kirk

Seems to me somebody needs to do a photo essay "Views from the throne" Kim

Loved this one ! Been trying to talk hubby into an outie toilet for a couple of years now. So much trouble to clean up to come in just to "go". Weak bladder and drink too much water !

-- cindy palmer (jandcpalmer@sierratel.com), January 21, 2001.

Love it. But I would add a big umberella (rainy days) and a magazine basket.

Well,we were remodeling the bathroom and hubby had the tractor in front of the window that looks out to the road. We were using the bucket for scrapes. Now imagine the toilet is on the opposite wall! Well...there I was, doing what I had to do when I heard a car coming down the road! Couldn't stop, so there I was trying to duck down so no one could see me! My daughter assured me that no one could see in as they drove by, but I couldn't imagine facing anyone at church who would have waved! And I certainly wish we had an outhouse cause I hate trudging all the way into the house just for a call from nature!

I took an herb class a couple of years back here in the mountains and the ladies that gave the class had a wonderful, outside composting toilet that they had made. The seat part of it was quite tall, I had to jump a little to get up and I am 5'6. Anyway, after you "went" you dumped a scoop of leaves and a scoop of something else down and the thing had no odor at all. Anyone know how to build one of those and what was that other scoop of stuff ? - I can't remember for the life of me. I have been raving about that outie ever since !

-- cindy palmer (jandcpalmer@sierratel.com), January 23, 2001.

Cindy Palmer, did you have to use corn cobs instead of TP? he he he In my great-grandma's outhouse in West Virginia we DID! Ouch.

-- Cindy in Ky (solidrockranch@msn.com), January 24, 2001.

Hey don't laugh, but my wifes cousin and her husband have two toliets mounted side by side. You can hold hands while you poop. I laugh every time I see it.

-- hillbilly (internethillbilly@hotmail.com), January 24, 2001.

Boy does that bring up a visual!!! Dear would you reach over and pass me a corn cob please!!!! Boy these posts are funny. by the way heres kind of a neat outhouse web site....http://dponder.home.mindspring.com/fame.htm....Kirk

-- kirk Davis (kirkay@yahoo.com), January 24, 2001.

No, to the corncobs - OUCH ! I really got a giggle over that one, thanks ! I can't believe there is an outhouse website ! Have to look that one up to believe it for sure ! Wonderful ! Now, really, holding hands while you poop? Well, why not? It does get lonesome sometimes, HA !

-- Cindy Palmer (jandcpalmer@sierratel.com), January 25, 2001.

cindy you may be thinking about wood ashes as the second scoop.we have an outhouse and love it.our view is nice also we have walls!

-- mike dickens (happyhillbillies@yahoo.com), January 25, 2001.

I recently built a composting toilet and I am very pleased with the results. I have it indoors and there are no odors(unless the kids forget to add sawdust and ashes). We are on a water haul cistern and it just seemed silly to use that much water on moving our 'waste' out to the lagoon. This summer I plan to build another one and put it out on the porch. It is really easy and cheap to build....just a plastic bucket and a wooden toilet seat. Anyhow ya'll reminded me of an old joke.

A fellow calls up Sears to order some toilet paper. The operator says 'Sir I need the catalog number'. The guy says 'If I still had the catalog I wouldn't need the toilet paper'!

-- Amanda in Mo (aseley@townsqr.com), January 26, 2001.

No way to a two seater! Hey, speaking of outhouses, check out the bottom of my page on my website, it's funny. It takes a minute to load but it is worth the wait!
