Gerald Young’s Hillbilly Outhouses

If you are of a certain age, and had relatives who lived in the country, you probably recall visiting the little house outback of the big house. In fact, it is called an outhouse... and was a pretty significant place, when you actually needed to pay it a visit. You might be surprised.. and your grandmother would probably be shocked... to hear that those most useful home additions are being re-created by a Pulaski Craftsman. Rob Wilds recently visited Gerald Young to learn about his outhouses, which he calls his legacy.
