The so called cook-house that people like to talk about was a square wattle and daub African hut as far as I can establish. The loo/privvy would have been a long drop shack. Yard square, door, room enough to stand up in, sloping roof. There's a marvellous scene in one of the 'Young Guns' films where our erstwhile band of heroes pump hundred of rounds into a privvy shack, in which (from memory) a man called Buckshot Rogers (or similar) is going about his business!! Buckshot has survived their heavy fire and rather improbably emerges to let the boys have both barrels. Well that's what the loo at RD looked like!!! Great scene - made me laugh anyway!! Good luck with the project. Regards Mike |

Cheers Mike
I figured the privvy would resemble something of that sort but was unsure on the cookhouse. Thanks for the info there. Sounds like a thrilling western! Damian Thanks for the offer but I think that I can surmise the useage of the buildings! Rob |
