You have an outhouse? Really?





  And now, it is part of history.
If you are wondering how you bring down a metal roof without destroying it because your mental sister wants to rebuilt it someday - the answer is use the car to lower it down!

Brilliant Joe!
He has done it! The wall have been removed, labeled, and stored away.
Yes, we are going to rebuilt the outhouse in a different area of the yard
(once a restoration nut, always a restoration nut)
You would not think that taking down such a small structure would be so difficult. But after a 150 years of s**t, it is a tricky project!
Who is that masked man?
That is Joe, my brother, doing us the enormous favor of FINALLY taking down the outhouse

Can you find the outhouse?
Zazu is looking right at it!
Yea, it is behind that 7 foot wall of knottweed on the right side of the picture!
During parts of the year you can not see the outhouse - thanks to the beautiful Knottweed seen here - obviously planted by the previous owners to hide the outhouse!
Yes, it is scary, dirty, and old.... and it doesn't help that it is positioned in the center of the yard!
Yes, we have or had, an outhouse at Belle.
