About: Just a normal guy trying to make it in life .Good paying job but mindless sometimes .I enjoy making things in my garage to keep my mind going .. Its fun making something new but its more fun taking something…
I built this 8 by 8 modern outhouse for my property. I dismantled a 1993 25 foot camper and used the toilet, vanity ,sink. shower, and windows from the camper.

Step 1: Building the Floor

I studded in a 8 by 8 floor  with pressure treated 2 by 8s and in between the studs i mounted the black water tank from the camper .

Step 2: Floor

 Nailing down the 1/2 plywood floor.

Step 3: Walls and Studs

I studded up 8 foot walls , Installed  1 of the 2  doors which came from the camper.

Step 4: Roof

I cut  studs for the 5/12 pitch roof. Instead of plywood i used  1 by 6 ship lap boards which you will see on the inside pictures how nice it looks. I used  Cheap black 3 tab shingles.

Step 5: Windows

I used 2 of the windows from the camper. 1 on each side of the outhouse.
