A Timber Framed Outhouse or “Donnerbalken”
July 2020 Duluth,MN
Originally conceived as a vestibule for a small Fachwerk frame, this little frame found a home with friends and serves admirably as an outhouse.
Right after being asked to build an outhouse for some dear friends I found a leaded glass window locally, and knew it had to be part of this exquisite little project.
A white pine frame with locally milled red pine boards.
One German name for an outhouse is ‘Donnerbalken’, which – freely translated- turns into ‘Thunder beam’.
