I decided with the coming monsoon as well as the eventual winter, we would want some shelter for our bucket toilet. The outhouse is not exactly a wonderful representation of carpentry skill, but part of the reason it is a little wonky is because all of the frame and flooring was reclaimed from the scrap lumber pile left over from the construction of the house. All I ended up buying was the plywood for the walls/roof, and the boards for the door. The crescent moon on the door is an artistic addition by Jill. The old rusty lard can which we found last year is where I burn the used toilet paper.
The housing for the bucket toilet is built from the plans in "The Humanure Handbook" and the swanky toilet seat is from Cabelas :) On the wall is the collage which Jill had made up, which was inspired by the pictures on the walls inside the outhouse at Tuckaway.
The bucket toilet uses sawdust as a cover material, and really is much less nasty than you would think when you hear that someone is pooping in a bucket.
