A luxury place to Poop!
Here's the last blog post of the work done at the cabin. Autumn is coming and I must be ready and its great to have a nice toilet.
I had lots of nasty rockwool insulation left over from the renovation at the squat, and what a better place to use it than in a toilet! I finished it with chipboard that we got from a skip months ago, and finished the rest in plastic so we don't die from glass fibers.
I'm no plumber and there is a wee wee overflow hole which should have required a pipe or something, but hmm, I just took a floor board out and it can go into the nature!
A birds eye from the back of the toilet and the "Drainage"
Found a clearer photo!
There is still a piece of floor missing and I nearly found a piece in the city but forgot it somewhere!
bag of sawdust and a bag for used toilet roll
And a Roof! The right piece of trash wood will show up just at the right time I'm sure! Pronoia!
I found this also in the city, there was two but the other had no pipes on it and so I took this one only. Shame its 3 cm too big to be the missing toilet floor, could have had a tiled section for washing and some kind of gravity shower..
Ha!
! Today I remebered to get someone to take photos of that handsaw method!
Ok, so .. in a last post on this subject of the compost toilet, I described a way I was taught in West Africa of how to use a blunt and old handsaw to cut through linear wood.
Now I have photos! How many times have you chucked a handsaw away because it was not sharp anymore, and used way to much effort to be used efficiently in actually cutting hard wood?
This way is awesome if your tired but must cut wood by hand, or you just want to be clever and save some energy.
So the saw is held like this..
And then just raised and lowered. Its very effective and you use absolutely no energy like the traditional "whiteman" method and and old saw can come alive again!
I did some more bits, but didn't take photos! Next mission is to get a hand pump for water and to sort out the other half of the roof with no guttering in place at the moment. I have a huge cylindrical water butt that was already here and I will reuse it!
Until the next time!
