Couple Converts Public Toilet Into Home

Posted by samzenpus on from the commode-home dept.

Tracy Woodhouse and Graham Peck have finished the unusual renovations to their beach house on the North Sea. What makes the project odd is that their house used to be a public restroom. The couple purchased the restroom five years ago and completed the $22,800 renovation with the blessing of local officials. "They gave us planning permission and praised the idea," Woodhouse said. "They called it the building's renaissance."

    I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

      No, but getting council approval seems to have been a piece of piss.

    I am sure this is just an artsy-fartsy couple vying for attention.
