Here\'s a nice cabin my family friends built in 1972. They cut down the trees and built it right on the spot all by hand. It\'s in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY.

It has all the amenities, you just have to conserve a little... they live there year-round. They heat with woodstoves. There\'s no sewer or septic tank, just a leechfield going down the hill into the ravine. They don\'t use any harsh chemicals or anything. Also, the men use the outhouses year-round, indoor bathroom is fer the wimmin only...

Shitting in a bathroom is so over-rated.

True dat. I shit in the kitchen.

I use a tree for peeing and i shit in a hole. No need for TP when you could use your finger.

I may have been exaggerating a bit about the bathroom, but there are 2 outhouses there, both with awesome views. Nothing\'s nicer than having a cup of coffee and taking a dump whilst looking out into a scotch pine forest ravine at sunrise...

here\'s the interior:

whoops...

btw Vid, where is your outhouse going? Nothing would be more convenient having 3 men in the house...Lona may insist upon it.

Well drywall was hung the other day so they are finishing taping and texturing that this week. I am also getting the outside stucco done this week as well.

1st two are our bathroom.

3rd is looking out our bathroom into the bedroom.

4th is from front door to living room

5th is from dining room looking through pantrys to kitchen.

2nd, same just a little to the left.

3rd master bedroom looking into bathroom

4th entry to the right. Bedroom is straight ahead. We have a wall fountain going on that wall straight ahead where the plug is in the middle of the wall.
