Burning Down the Outhouse 

Thanks 👍

@Steve, I agree if the outhouse is made correctly. This outhouse was not properly designed. In North Idaho some who make compost use a two earthen hole under the outhouse. Once the hole is filled, it composts while the outhouse building is slid to the adjacent hole. Once that hole fills after 2 years the previous hole is dug out as compost and the outhouse is slid back over that hole while the adjacent is covered with soil and allowed to compost for two years and back and forth it goes.

Something we should have done a long time ago. As you can see, this one wasn't designed very well. Some designs put the outhouse on a sliding system. Once the hole is filled the outhouse is slid to the second hole and the open pit is covered with about 6 inches to a foot of earth. Once the second hole fills up over the course of a few years, the first hole is dug up as compost and moved to the trees in the orchard and the outhouse is slid over to the primary pit while the second pit composts. This outhouse barely had a single pit.
