I can't imagine what the assessor was thinking, maybe $$$$ signs?<BR/>That bathroom sounds like a creative solution but one I wouldn't want to deal with.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308536241010378733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480701661803419103.post-8572306054569670282008-08-04T12:45:00.000-04:002008-08-04T12:45:00.000-04:00Wonderful memories.

The house where we were raised had originally been built before indoor plumbing and there was the remains of the outhouse on the property. As you exited the house from the kitchen at the back of the house, you had to go down three steps to an enclosed porch. To the left was a room just big enough to house the toilet and to the right was a room that held the tub and wash basin. Both unheated! <BR/>Can you imagine my mother's ire the day she got the county assessor's report saying that the house had two bathrooms? That was the day she fought city hall.<BR/>RitaQuirky Cottage Ownershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055447981731484614noreply@blogger.com
