Assembly #2

We'd done pretty much all we could do with the Outhouse in-house.

The roof would've made it too tall to fit in the parlor, so we had to disassemble it, cart it outside, and reassemble it in the back yard.



Putting all of the roof pieces together had to wait until the ceiling panel was done. We knew we wanted a mirror mosaic on the ceiling. I had a Rubbermaid tote in the yard full of pieces of mirror left over from some other projects.

I actually thought that we had enough to cover the entire ceiling, (my original plan) but fortunately I was wrong. We had just enough of the thick glass mirror to create a gorgeous mosaic moon and Rick's affinity for crystal (not Meth) meant stars for the deep blue background.



One of our plans was to make an outhouse that looked just as decrepit on the outside as the original - making the interior that much more shocking. So we went in search of some old wood.

As fate would have it, Rick's friends were dismantling an old barn.






We took the whole wall and it was just enough....



But the weathered wood was poplar and WAY too pretty. So we gave up on the decrepit idea.
