Long story behind it (and one fairly PO'd wife)but we have a brand-spanking new outhouse on the farm just like I remember at grandpa's way back (except we have running water today in the house, and his was a 2-holer...). However, grandpa never dug his pit with a backhoe so I imagine ours will hold much more as I got a little carried away, hope noone ever falls in because it will be a LONG climb back up :-)


Enough long-windedness...Anyway, the kids want to "name" it and paint it on a board to nail above the door. However they have a fairly short list of names to choose from and I thought with the wealth of knowledge and ingenuity on this site we may garner some we don't have. (Current list includes turd palace and crap shack if that helps get you started...)

Any help out there?

Devils Basement, cause it stinks like the devil down there. I hope the hole on yours is lined with wood or something if it is that deep, because I have seen holes on some cave in in the spring time and then you can't get the door open. Not fun if you are in there when it settles down. I guess here in the little town of Hymera, IN back in the early 60s there was an out house tipping spree that claimed over 60 out houses in one night. It was obvious who did it because they had the only ones still upright the next morning. They were "sentenced" to setting them all upright. Dad and a couple of his friends tipped one on a guy once. They didn't know the guy was in there and he didn't yell untill it was on the way over. Bad thing is they tipped it door down! Another outhouse prank I heard involved a model T coil and the metal door handle. I can imagine some clothes had to be changed!

Ours was always called the "Hoosey". No idea why. Mom wanted dad and I to tear it down when I was about 15- Dad and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing. Dad just said, "Ma, how do you think me and the boy have survived, in a house with a women, 3 girls and only one bathroom?" The hoosey stayed, by the way.

"Oval Office". My 11 year old came up with that name. Previously it was just called the "Office" as referring to where the only truely necessary paper work gets done.

A neighbor had one, when they were common, that was painted up with "U.S. Government building" on it. Always appropriate.

Picture Please.When we built our house, We put the front facing our farm and the back facing the gravel road. I wanted to look out the window and see my farm instead of the neighbors pigs on pasture. Told my wife I wanted to build an outhouse between house and road, door facing road and put a dummy in it. That ought to make the neighbors talk. Chris

Back in the 30's when my Grandparents were just getting by they rented a house next to the railroad tracks. The outhouse faced the tracks and did not have a door on it since there was a mountain on the other side of the tracks. My Grandmother kept asking my Granddad to put a door on but he was busy. One day she told him that she was using the outhouse when a train went past and the engineer waved at her. The next day there was a door on the outhouse.

In reply to J-Unimog,, Chick Sail was a carpenter "back in the day" who specialized in building out houses aka. back house,bomb shack,stink and think, the office, privy,throne room, the Jake,the Johnny,and so on. The guy was a legend in the mid west and my Grandpa claims he was a heck of a story teller.
