Sherman Hines was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and although outhouses did not occupy a mandatory place in his early years, a deep affinity for them was developed at Grandma's house. This outhouse was located over Meadow Pond brook which provided a soothing gurgle not unlike indoor facilities and was very reassuring to a small boy.
For more than 25 years, Sherman has made a project of recording the fast disappearing structure of the outhouse. He also founded the Outhouse Preservation Society, of which you may become a member, and a world first: outhousemuseum.com.
