How Many Johns Do two Folks Need?

.
I've come a ways in my life as far as man's favorite resting place goes.

When I was a boy, the place of rest had a hole cut out in it. It was a place to study life and death, the battle between spiders and flies. It also offered the study of wind and ice.   Check out more.

As I forward sixty-five years, I realize my favorite resting place has fragmented into too many options.

When we first built our present home, we planned for a throne, a commode, and a can. The commode is in the laundry room where sloshing water in the wash machine and a spinning drum of the dryer keeps one from having a contemplating time of rest.

The throne in the original part of the house was designed for pondering, but was most often used to sit on while our little boys received their baths.

The can, as one can tell by its functional name, was put in the basement. It served us well down there during the time we started our Printing Business. Later, since no door was ever added and is in my woodworking shop, it is sawdust-covered, but still in commission.

As the boys grew, and friends came to spend time, we closed in the carport. With future wives and grandchildren a possibility, a powder room was added.

After the three boys married, and my wife and I found ourselves liberated, we decided to get spoiled and add on to the house. One of the bedrooms turned into my office, a second one became a sewing room.
Now, what does a liberated couple need? A new bedroom of course. One can not build a new bedroom without a new Jacuzzi staffed bath and comfort station.

Let's stop and look at this situation.

Question? Are any of these five toilets a man's resting place? Not likely. The can in the workshop yes, but at my age I don't want to trot the stairs. . . Hey, just had a thought. We could use an elevator in our house!

Our house is now over one-hundred-and twenty-five feet long. Too big, don't you think for two people.
So, what could possibly be the answer to such an American predicament?

BUILD A CABIN IN THE WOODS!

Great. A cozy quiet place. A place with a privy for meditation. Simple. One bedroom, fireplace, kitchen and the resting place.

Good plan. But, when company comes we can not share the throne! We need a guest facility. . . Ok, we've got to cater to the guests!

Resale value. Think of resale value. We have a full basement under the cabin, why not add another lavatory. AND WE DID.

Two old folks with eight johns. How good does life get?
