We were growing cucumbers and needed portable facilities for the workers. Dad insisted in fast construction methods. This resulted in a rough splintery hole. During one of my rambles along the river bank I found a wooden toilet seat. I brought it home for my outhouse. This brought me quite a bit of praise from the workers. No more splinters in the bum! I was the hero of outhouse construction for the season.buddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-67569621874012884612014-01-15T21:58:21.572+00:002014-01-15T21:58:21.572+00:00Does the hole in a plank lead to anywhere!?!
