Composting toilet (Hinton)
QR Code Link to This Post
Ladies – is your barn or shop too far from the house causing you to have to make long trips back to the house for a potty break? I can help with that too.
Composting toilet options are becoming increasingly popular for customers who have a remote cabin or RV site with no water or sewage and for people with barns or shops a long distance from their home.
The toilet seat itself is a simple free standing box with a toilet seat/ring/lid that can be added to a shed. The box/seat has a space for a plastic tote with an access panel to remove and service the plastic tote as needed. You can use a plastic garbage bag as a liner for even easier servicing. Ends and back are not closed as they are not seen. If you want just the seat without the shed the price is $100. These are much cleaner and easier to service and maintain than the old style pit type toilets.
Toilet/Utility Shed/School bus stop – a 4’X4’ shed that slopes from 6.5’ at the front to 6’ at the back. Normally built as Board and Batten (Jenny Lind) style. Base/ Floor unit is built on treated lumber framing where it contacts the ground. Metal roof is approximately 6’X6’. The building itself is $400. With a toilet box as described above $450. School bus stop without door $375. Windows can be added for an additional cost. Comes prefabbed as floor, back, sides (2), front, and roof. Assemble with lag and/or deck screws. Can be transported in a pick up truck or utility trailer. Assembly on site and delivery are available for an extra fee. (No extra charge if you want to pick up already assembled.)
A free bag of sawdust will be provided to every customer who buys a composting toilet. :)
Other sizes can be discussed for bigger sheds, deer blinds, etc but be aware weight becomes an issue to handle and transport the pre-fabbed components.
Outhouse Trivia:
1. Did you know that old outhouse sites are popular with antique bottle collectors? Apparently that is where Grandpa used to hide his liquor and one of the few places he could drink without Grandma catching him.
2. The crescent moon on an outhouse indicated it was a Ladies Toilet. Outhouses for men were marked with a sunburst.
3. Before toilet paper was readily available regional favorite cleaning materials included Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery (aka Monkey) Ward Catalogs, Spanish moss was popular in the deep South and corn cobs were often used. When corn cobs were used they were lined up in order of 3 red ones then a white one. (You used 3 red ones then a white one to see if you needed to use 3 more red ones.)
