I stumbled across this forum and thought I could share our outhouse that we have recently renovated. It still had the original ash under the copper ! I restored the well pump ,gave everything a good clean and paint .Have tried to keep as much as possible intact whilst making it a usable room . We bought what was a Victorian dairy farm a little over a year ago and it has been a fantastic experience. The house retails all of it's original features and it is like living in a time warp .Which suits the two of us perfectly.
