Outside of being a really cool name for a band, "outhouse tool shed?" is a question I'd like to pose to the fashionista's of this forum.

I live on a little over an acre out in the country and I'd like to build a small shed to store the handled tools I use in my garden. I'm thinking I'd like to build one that looks like an old timey outhouse. What do you think? Cute or tacky? Keep in mind that (A) I live in the country and many of my neighbors actually used outhouses at some point in their lives, (B) this is going at the far back corner of a 1 acre property so it won't be terribly visible to any of the neighbors ruining their property values or scenic views, and (C) I have to do something to store my tools back there so basically I'm asking "do I carve the crescent moon in the door or not?".

Examples:

Great idea ! Maybe paint the crescent on it to keep the elements out hu? If it was my project I would use this one just for the roof, adds a bit of class IMHO.

Copper roof, and you're good. If I could get my hands on some recovered timber where I live, I'd build one.

I have seen some around my way but I think the Pineys aroud here are useing them Rember that when the goverment said you had to have running watter thay did not mean to build the out house over the streem

I think it's a great idea. I would definitely carve the crescent moon, but expect some messes to occur.

I concur, you have to cut the moon shape in it.

Awesome idea, I may steal it and do it as a shed out by my pool to keep pool stuff in.

Seeing the photo of the one with the red roof gave me an idea, you could put wheels on bouth sides and some handels and have your verry own port-a-potty.

Anyone get started on it yet?

It's been to cold down here to do much of anyhting outside, I would imagine the rest of the nation is the same.

Go far it!! Carve the moon big enough & put plexiglass in/over it if you make a two-hole'r.

Maybe when I can see my back lawn.

The locals finally chased you in side wielding torches and pitchforks?

Nope. Too cold for them too.
