[] I really like your toilet, Joe.. I gotta get me one of those...

..is that a linen cabinet or a bunny hutch on the right side?

 

[JOETHECROW]

Thanks everyone, for the input, opinions and all around nice comments!,...Bram,...feel free to liberate that idea as your own,it's about 16" wide by 34" tall by 4 or 5" deep... Charlie,..yep,...I used to keep some rabbits,...bears got em. I salvaged that outhouse from a hill top near where we dug the 'B******n' farm last fall,...It was the privy from the old narrow guage R.R. (station) that ran over that hill in the 1800's..Rough cut hemlock , zinc coated tin roof,..built with square cut nails, coated with crude oil originally as a perservative....(it worked well)..They were getting ready to log the area and I knew it would probably get trashed, so we went up with my pickup,...put her in 4 wheel drive and three of us loaded it and hauled it out of there....[]

That's great, Joe ! I've heard of people taking "the whole kitchen sink", but privvy diggers taking "the whole d@mn privvy home" sure takes some beating !!

 

[SAbottles]

Sorry, my bad. Of course privy doesn't have a double "v" ; although I believe some of them had double seats !

Excellent Joe!!![]

Great job, Joe. I highly approve of reusing or "recycling" things to use to show off one's bottles. This was an old brick mould, used for shaping clay bricks; now used to house dump dug dolls:

Thank you Tom, Bill, (and Bill),....Paul,...and Dale,...Dale,...I love the brick mold idea!,.....Also we don't see too many dark skinned doll heads over here,..The eyes on that one are wild,....On the note of repurposing stuff, most of our home is redone (tastefully) with "are you getting rid of that?" type salvage items,....bookcases, barn beams,... The pot belly stove that we heat with, even our window seat....I'm all for salvaging items, and a ridiculous amount of nice stuff gets tossed out or wasted...I think alot of those items look cooler than most store bought too.

Couldn't agree more, Joe. And after all, isn't that what we're doing with the bottles we dig - recycling them and giving them life again? Incidentally the eyes in that dark skinned doll are not original; my wife walked into the room one day and freaked out - my younger son had put some Prestik (stuff for sticking things onto other things!) into the sockets with rather macabre results !! : close up:
