Working on and off for a while doing a little at a time but I finished my Country Outhouse.
The inside is 4' x 4' x 6 foot tall.
The inside has no seat but I did place the floor joist in a way that plumbing can be installed.
Me and Kirk built the house from air dried Poplar board and baton. The floors are Poplar shiplap as are the vertical boards on the door.
The gables and face boards are all Cedar.....tin roof, hardware, and a little deco to he outside and it was ready.
I shared the pics on Facebook and it SOLD in just a few hours. The guy came straight to my house with the cash. Customer will pick it up tomorrow.
Honestly, I never knew there would be this much interest.....but there is....a lot. People are wanting Outhouses.
I guess my next one will be solid Cedar.....they've already put down a deposit.  ;D

You know David,you could almost sell me grits.  :D
Make a "Garden Shed". I have been thinking about one just about that size right by the garden. I have a shed for the garden tools,but that is about 40 feet from the garden. I could use something close by for the tools that we use every day.

......or you could just put a chair in it and call it a "Sitter".  :D :D :D :D
A good way to just sit and think.  :)

The guy that bought it will use it to put his swimming pool equipment in right beside his pool. Says he gonna put shrubs and flowers around it.
I think it will look nice when he gets it set up right.

Plenty of demand for them up here, but folks want them functional as they are still used for their intended purpose.

You sold that for $300?

No.....I start off pricing things high because I can come down but can't go up.....got a bite and set the hook right out of the gate.  fishin-smiley

David,

   I'd never have thought of it. Amazing what people will buy.

   (By the way - it looks to be missing a seat. Going to be a single or two holer? I never figured why they made two holers - I never wanted to be in there alone, let alone with company).

Surprising low price that includes being built to handle any size snow load. :)

Two holers have different sized holes so the smaller patrons will not end up down the hole or stuck.   I had seen a four holer with a step down bench seat that would help the toddlers become independent thinkers .

Nice job. I was at the local Amish store today and they had about 100 premade sheds that they sell out back. There was one that looked just like yours and the same size with a $889.00 price tag on it that included delivery. Must be outhouses are making a come back. :)

Does the installation guide have a recommended number of beverages for the bar attachment?  I love this design and may be stealing shortly for a small garden version :)

Well done

Thanks for the compliments Y'all.
We loaded it with the backhoe this morning.


  

  

 

The family that bought it is really happy.
We shook hands and there it went.

The two best days of owning an Outhouse.  The day you build it and the day it drives away . With $300 plus
