There is nothing weird about this thread... Just real reality unlike most of those reality shows.
One of my common quotes is "Even the queen of England has to take a dump just like everybody else".
I see no reason to pretend like we all don't. We are after all just one more animal.
I think it is very much "on topic" for our woodshops even though it does not have to be on topic in this "community" section of the forum.

I like to be able to wash my hands a lot while I work. I'm not afraid of germs, I just tend to get stuff all over them and the first thing you know you have tracked something like stain or grease onto the wrong place like a just finish sanded piece of light colored wood. An uncle of mine operated a shoe shop for over 40 years with just a commode and a spigot with a metal bucket sitting under it. He washed his hands under the spigot and when the bucket got full he dumped it down the commode. He also dumped it last thing every night. I had one shop like that for almost two years. I can't say that it was ever a problem.

[quote=a1gutterman. Toward the back of the "J", he had dug a hole and placed a section of concrete culvert vertically with the "bell" at the top and just above grade. He filled it with gravel, and that is what he uses, at least for one "operation". I do knot know what he does for the smell, but there was no smell while I was there.
Any Vietnam vet who was on any of the smaller bases will be able to quickly recognize this method. They were made of all types of tubes, pipe, storage tube for artillery rounds, what ever was handy. The other "issue" will be well instilled in the minds of those vets as well!! NUFF SAID:D

Been there, done that! Got my first bicycle while we lived on Roller Coaster Road, outside of (1948) Tucson. The road at that time was gravel and a lot of fun. But the aforementioned flora eat flesh, even through 1948 model jeans.dusty wrote:I try real hard not to give it a thought.
As for using the outdoor facility here, NO WAY. I fear a confrontation with the jumping cholla, prickly pear or pencil cactus. NO WAY.

My son has bought his first house last November(a foreclosure), gutted it down to the outer walls, replaced joists, etc. His saving grace? A full, functioning bathroom out in the garage. Sure beats the alternatives mentioned!! And brother, was I envious,
When I was building my garage 19 years ago I wanted to plumb it. My wife said, no. She said she'd never see me again!!
