This was our throne at the cabin. It now has no shelter from the beautiful pines. They have all been cut down because of the pine bark beetle

The only issue speaking as a male is you put a yellow plush rug on the lid of the thing - REALLY - do you know how much male's dislike how those things tip lids at the most in-opportune moments.

I can't remember if we used the boards we took out of floor of our cabin that we replaced or if we used boards that were stacked by the woodshed. It was a labor of love. A good friend (mason who actually did tons of the masonry for the Abe Lincoln statue on the summit of I-80 which is the highest point of the Lincoln Highway) built the vault for us. To answer John, as I recall the pitch of the roof just came about by accident. Before we built the throne, we had a winter with two feet of snow on the cabin. DH thought we ought to stop adding boards on the back when we got that high. Talk about an engineer who worked with calculus, trigonometry and lab results for 10 years by then for the State Highway Dept. Who fools with plans? We put drywall inside. Oh ya, I papered the entire inside with travel pages from zillions of magazines I salvaged from the local travel bureau. So we had something to read while we were in there. LOL I'll try and send some pictures

You did a beautiful job! I like the siding....
Reminds me of the unflushable that my folks built at the cabin. It was HUGE, more like the size of a small bathroom. It was built with enough room to include an old dresser full of hand tools and a rack for shovels and rakes etc. It was such an imposing structure that they named it "Big John"......tee, hee, hee.

And did you actually create a list of materials, and the pitch of the roof for this beautiful but, functional piece of artistry. Not to say I want one similar but, the pitch of the roof probably is pretty much right on.
I don't presently have a fully standing throne - only two and a half walls
