composting chronicles...

...after years of using a Lavac toilet with a holding tank aboard Gracie...it's time to try using a composting/desiccating toilet...eliminating the toilet, holding tank, the 1 1/2" thru-hull, and lots of nasty hose...


mocking up the bucket containment box with cardboard...
(this mock-up didn't work...)






...gluing up the plywood box...
fitting up the lid and toilet seat...

...installed in head area for "operations" check
 and any mods before final painting and install...


...so far have about $100 in materials and around $1000 in labor...  : )
