Show and Tell Friday

It's another Show and Tell Friday. This week I am going to show you a area in my yard that I am currently working on. I needed a shed to store my pond supplies near my Koi Pond so I came up with this great idea.

This is a reproduction of a Outhouse! It looks exactly like a old Outhouse made out of old barn wood, a tin roof and it even has a chimney air vent!

This area was all overgrown with shrubs so I removed the bushes in my way, put down flat rocks I found around the yard as stepping stones , planted ground cover in between the stones, put rocks as edges leading up to the Outhouse. My husband put down a small cement pad and he screwed the Outhouse down to the cement pad so the wind won't blow it over. I then covered the cement pad with dirt so that you can't see it.

On one side I hung up a old saw, a old pitch fork, a old animal trap and old horse bit.

The other side I have a old license plate, a old rake, saws, a old watering can and a star.

I love the moon cut out in the door, the hanging lantern, the air vent and especially the antlers above the door!

The inside even has a toilet hole!

While I was snapping pictures for Show and Tell Friday, my husband decided to make fun of me and jumped into the Outhouse and yelled, "Hey, here's a picture for your blog"................I think next time he will think about it before he makes fun of me and my blog.......
