Here is a link to an old book that is just hilarious. <br /><br />https://archive.org/details/b29809903<br /><br />It is called 'The Specialist' and was written by an American Vaudevillian about a carpenter who decides to specialize in outhouse (biffy) construction. It is very short and funny. FYI, the Baldwins and Norther Spy that he refers to indicate the little house is set back in the orchard. Those are apple varieties. Enjoy!Tim B.
