penquin Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 A friend sent me a list of items to see how many you can remember to help determine how old you are. Unfortunately I remembered all of them. The attached photo is one I got a kick out of. Remember the old out house well. My aunt and uncle had one on their farm in Iowa and it was still used up to the late 60's. Would love it if someone can created a pattern from this photo, just think it would make a real conversation piece when cut. Thanks for looking over my request. jim penquin Quote

Kepy Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 I remember those all too well, especially in the winter when you had to wade snow to get to it. We actually had a three holer (two adult size and a lower child size). Quote
