I will be building an outhouse this spring at our mountain cabin. I want to
make it the common two holer, one side with a crescent moon in the door, the
other door with a star, according to 19th century practice.

I have decided to make the outhouse unique that I would put on various
decorations and things that one would find on the roof of a house or
building. These may be junk items, garage sale treasures, or really
anything creative, funny, artsy, scientific, or just plain stupid.

I have some ideas, but would like to hear from everyone in case I have
overlooked something obvious. I won't post my ideas, as everyone will have
a clean slate to suggest what they would put.

I want to put so many items that it will seem like the base of an
underground bunker or CIA shack.

When the outhouse is completed, pictures will be posted for all to see. The
poster with the most unusual item that goes on it will receive a framed
picture to post in THEIR outhouse.

If there will be a men's room and a ladies room.... put signs on the
doors saying "Pointers" Setters"

Get those ghastly furry toilet seat covers..... pink and blue.

Dogs playing poker pictures could adorn the walls...

Or maybe Elvis on black velvet.

Do you have a Big Lots in Las Vegas?

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy sh.t...what a ride!"

A restaurant that I know of did that with arrows pointing to the opposite
doors. And the arrows were pointing to the correct doors!

I am filing all these responses, and it looks like I will have to make one
HUGE outhouse to fit them all in. But that is what I want, something that
has about every square inch covered with something.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I like "CIGAR" for one door, "GOOD, BUT NO CIGAR" for the other.

CIA? Gotta have a working periscope mounted through the roof. One for each
hole.

Let's see.. a large CB antenna mounted on the 'pointer' side, and an equally
large TV antenna mounted on the 'setter' side? Maybe a sat dish? A Max-air
vent cover? Maybe you can find a defunct dome from a Kingdome or Tracvision?
After all, it's going to be an rv-related outhouse, right?

How about a 2 story outhouse. Of course the crescent goes on top!

A mirror located in a position so they can watch the funny faces they
make while producing a stool.

Dont forget the corn cob in a "Break Glass In Case Of An Emergency" box
mounted on the wall.
