I will be building an outhouse this spring at our mountain cabin. I want
to
make it the common two holer, one side with a crescent moon in the door,
the
other door with a star, according to 19th century practice.
I have decided to make the outhouse unique that I would put on various
decorations and things that one would find on the roof of a house or
building. These may be junk items, garage sale treasures, or really
anything creative, funny, artsy, scientific, or just plain stupid.
I have some ideas, but would like to hear from everyone in case I have
overlooked something obvious. I won't post my ideas, as everyone will
have
a clean slate to suggest what they would put.
I want to put so many items that it will seem like the base of an
underground bunker or CIA shack.
When the outhouse is completed, pictures will be posted for all to see.
The
poster with the most unusual item that goes on it will receive a framed
picture to post in THEIR outhouse.

Don;t know where you are located, but if you're anywhere near ATL I
can give you a 24" dish antenna. That would look good on the roof.

Thanks. I live in Las Vegas. Are you coming here any time soon? ;-)
My list is growing and growing. It looks like I will have to make it pretty
structurally sound just to hold up the weight.
Half of the fun is going to be going out and scrounging this stuff from yard
sales, RV boneyards, flea markets, and the side of the road.
I will post a list soon of what has been suggested.
This is going to be fun.

How about a shelf for a laptop? This IS the 21st Century you know...

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
