Outhouse shaped tool shed opinions?
Comments (5)At the top of this page, do a search on outhouses, especially Garden Junk site. Someone started collecting pictures and posted online. Some are 'real' outhouses and some are for tool shed use....See MoreWhat is this Old Outhouse Rose?
Comments (7)Hi Robbie. Lucky you! Even the old outhouse is bearing roses for you. Of course, it must have been a fertile field at one time. :-) Your rose kind of reminds me of Manetti. It, like Ragged Robin, was once a popular rootstock. Check the link below and see what you think. You see a lot of Manetti in the south, from what I understand. I wouldn't think that it's hardy here, considering the supposed China/Noisette heritage (look under the "References" tab on the link below), but I don't know for certain. Compare the characteristics of your rose's canes and leaves with those of the pictures on HMF. If you recall what the hips looked like, there are also pictures of those on HMF too. Your rose may not be Manetti, but there's a strong resemblance. All the best, Deb Here is a link that might be useful: Manetti at HMF...See Morethe worth of an outhouse
Comments (5)leasa, we identified what was likely the location of the outhouse on our property by studying the structures depicted on the Sanborn Insurance maps. There were many little outbuildings shown, but one that seemed to be the right size for an outhouse. It actually made a lot of sense: go straight out what was originally the side kitchen door all the way to the rear property line on the alley, and there it was located. (This is now under what is the half bath of my office--how fitting.) I'll bet a lot of outhouses lined the alley on this block!...See More*Real* brick, stone, wood, etc. Anyone using the old school stuff?
Comments (9)It depends entirely on the situation and application - sometimes a natural product makes the most sense and others times a manufactured product works (and looks) better. So I use both :-) And I am also fond of using recycled material in the landscape for various applications....concrete chunks and used bricks are prime contenders! Personally, I am not a fan of those interlocking masonry blocks used for terracing and retaining walls (SRW's) - unless you buy the top of the line products they all look cheesy to me. However, sometimes they simply make the most sense due to economy and ease of installation. Manhandling landscape boulders into a tiny, almost no-access backyard for a retaining wall can be a daunting and very expensive undertaking!!...See MoreJilly
