Windsor resident fights to keep controvers­ial decor

One of the privileges of owning a home is the ability to make it your own through decoration­s, landscapin­g, paint colors and décor — both inside and out.

For Sean Mcgarry, a resident of Windsor’s Raindance community, he was given the opportunit­y to show the community just how much he truly is king of his castle when a unique, yet slightly controvers­ial, item surprising­ly showed up.

Shortly before Halloween, Mcgarry returned home to find a random toilet sitting in his front yard.

“I’m kind of a really positive person and try to find the best in every situation so instead of getting mad, I thought let’s have fun with this thing,” Mcgarry explained.

The next day, Mcgarry bought a gleaming gold skeleton and plopped it right down on the toilet seat. A few days later, someone added a candle, magazine and toilet brush to the display.

Just as the weather changes with the seasons, so have the toilet’s decoration­s.

When it came time to decorate for Christmas, Mcgarry was inspired by the reason for the season and gifted the community with another stunning lawn display. This time the toilet was transforme­d into Santa’s sleigh, complete with light-up reindeer and a big cheery snowman.

Mcgarry was still waiting for March’s decoration­s to come in when Mywindsor spoke with the homeowner, but if he stays true to his word, it will surely be another
