Couple Renovates Abandoned Public Bathroom into House

Tracy Woodhouse and Graham Peck found a century-old abandoned public bathroom on the shore of Scarborough, UK and decided to turn it into a home:

The £35,000 project is now finished and the couple have settled down in their new home, which they have named The Lookout. Their television is situated where the men's urinals used to be, and their bathroom is in the former ladies' toilets. [...]

Metal gates at the separate entrances for Gentlemen and Ladies are signs of the building's original use as well as the bay window – which used to be the toilet's kiosk, but once they started digging much of its past was revealed.

The couple filled six skips with maroon glazed earthenware bricks and dug out the drains of the old urinals and a dozen cubicle

Arr, and at the witching hour, when the moon is full, ye can still hear the sounds of dead men taking a shite.

And, 'tis said, that a yellow stream covers the floor, a river of ectoplasmic urea from the spectral void. And woe upon the wretched soul who steps therein, for it'll make yer socks wet.

I had fun finding it on Google Maps. It's not hard to find; all the info you need is in the article, and then you just need to scan the satellite image. And they have street views, so you can check out their view of the bay and everything. But if you're lazy, just use this: http://tinyurl.com/256mm3k
