I'm excited about tomorrow! Not only are we going to have a repeat of today's weather for the next three days~or so the weather station says~but we are having a "working" out here tomorrow and the next day. My eldest son and his little family~wife and my two grandgirls! 
~and my middle son are coming out to assist us in tearing down the old outhouse that's been standing here over 25 yrs now and with rebuilding a new one.
The old one is small, dark and when it rains hard the floor floods with water. The door sticks on the ground when it's opened too. It's sturdy enough still, as it was built by my Dad and things tend to stay built when he builds them, but it is showing signs of wear at the foundation from the flooding.
We don't use it often but when we do have to use it during periods of power outages, it's nice to use something that is pleasant...and this cramped, dark, brown house is not as pleasant as it could be. I'm thankful that we've had it available all these years but it's time for a change.
I'll take before and after pics so you can see the differences, but suffice to say that before it was a man's outhouse and after it's all painted and finished out, it will be a lady's outhouse. At least, one that ladies don't mind using.
Light and bright inside, functional without being froo-froo, and more attractive outside as well.
I'll be grilling some stuff and having a campfire in the yard tomorrow evening so we can admire the stars and enjoy the cool night air. If folks aren't too tired, we'll play some cards after that. They'll stay all night and finish up the build the day after. Can't wait!!!!
