THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE

This is a real house. Now, if, for whatever insane reason, you built a basement house, don't you think you'd want ALL THE LIGHT YOU COULD GET AND YOU WOULDN'T PLANT AN ENORMOUS TREE IN FRONT, BLOCKING OUT WHAT LITTLE LIGHT WAS AVAILABLE? Sorry to shout. I couldn't help myself.
In the days of outhouses this was a really specialized one. Built for tall thin people only .
And I spotted this one day. A toilet in a breezeway. Why would you have a toiled in a breezeway?
Oh, wait. I can see it now. A child comes home from school, he hasn't gone to the bathroom all day--hating the school bathrooms, like children do--he goes to the front door. Locked. He goes to the back door. Locked. Mom is not home. He is dancing around, he really has to go. Oh, wait. He remembers now. An outside toilet. How nice. He can even hang his coat on the sawhorses and have privacy. It makes perfect sense.
