Loo, WC, Outhouse or Outdoor Potty

When we first heard that the house we were moving into had an outdoor "loo" I was not too sure what to think about it. Our landlord was going to get it back to working order, with a new toilet and sink but he was also going to ceramic tile it. I thought he must be mad! I remember telling our team leader to just tell our landlord that there was no point, he didn't need to spend the extra money on fixing up an outdoor potty. I mean, it rains a lot in Wales and it's cool most of the time, I really couldn't see any of using this outdoor toilet.

I was wrong. I'm so glad our great landlord fixed it up for us!

I love our "outdoor potty" as Cerys named it. It has really come in handy...now that Cerys is toilet trained it's really handy! When we are playing outside, it makes life so much easier! When we are getting into the car to leave and Cerys (or me) needs to make one last stop, it's so convenient. It's right off the kitchen, as you can see from the picture, and on the way to the garage, so it's perfect!







I can't believe I just wrote a post about a toilet. But I do love it!
Oh, I forgot to mention...our landlord put a light and a heater in it! :) What more could you want? :)

wow. I don't even know what to say to that.

Oh, I know! When you have boys the whole outdoors is an Outhouse. = )

It beats the one we had! Ours was called the man toilet. I couldn't believe that they put toilets outside that flushed!

Have a great day!

Jonelle, I didn't know you had one! I must have blocked it from my memory :) Hope y'all are doing okay!

Even with the heater, I still think it would not be the first pick during the winter.

Poor Marc. With all those girls in the house, it's going to become his bathroom, come rain, snow, or shine.

Light and a heater...sounds like a get-a-way place to hide:) Just bring a book!
