What grit sandpaper was used to sand the seat and do you think a high gloss poly would be too slippery?  Semi-gloss or matte? Were the bushes beside the door always there or did the outhouse have something to do with their lushness?

No, but haven't used one since my Boy Scout days and that was a loooong time ago.....before MDF and maybe even plywood were invented.

Do you still have the catalogue?  It has to be a collector's item by now.

Did you save your comic books or baseball cards?

I wish we had of done that, in those days that was our trading stock, We didn't have any money,so we traded them to the other kids for pocket knives, fountain pens, chewing gum. We also walked the old gravel road and picked up the beer bottles and pop bottles and took them to the little country store and traded them for Pop,Dixie cups, and ice cream bars, Also for fish hooks and fish eggs for fishing in the little creek.

Went fancy and used an old piece of carpet.

Nowadays people are replacing their carpet with hardwood.  As this is a wood working forum will the carpet be replaced with hardwood?  No plywood need apply and definitely no MDF.

Well personal choice I would suspect.  But on a cold morning which would you rather put your tushy on? A plank of cold wood, or a soft cushy piece of carpet?

Like my Mom told my Dad,"No TV until you put a toilet in the house."

End of story.

Well your question raises a couple more.....if you and the previous user swapped positions quick enough then that cold wood might just be all warmed up.  And, on the other hand,  if something had gone sideways then no telling what condition that soft cushy piece of carpet would be in. 

Sorry, they don't come in green.
