My daughter didn’t have a TP holder for the half-bath in the mudroom. I tried to make one like an outhouse but my old TS didn’t have the precision I wanted (maybe I’m too picky). After weeks of racking my brain (didn’t take long, really), I came up with a “tree.” One roll on the top and two spares on the sides. Materials- 3/4 in. dowel, 5/16 in dowel and plywood for base. Painted with two coats of white interior paint. Nothing really great but serves its purpose. BTW, this is not patented. :D

Nice, simple. It would of been great to see your outhouse version.

Got it on the list. Going to have to let it warm up as the garage/shop is not heated. Small space heaters aren’t powerful enough. I looked at some heaters of around 5000 watts but they are about $200 and use 240 volts. Don’t want to spend that much or run a high voltage line.

Outhouse version, magazine rack for Sears or Montgomery-Wards catalog, HUH? Sounds simple enough.

If I was to make a holder for corn cobs, it would be too big for the half bath. lol
Have your say...
