It’s been nearly three years but we FINALLY have a flushing toilet once again - a massive milestone in this big renovation project.
The floor is down, sealed and grouted so we’re ready to assemble and plumb this glorious new throne for the downstairs bathroom.
As you might expect, this goes very smoothly without any mistakes, misunderstandings, frustration or any other issues. Stay tuned to see how we get on!

  • I live in Mozambique and acquired some land in the bush, 7 kms from the road. It took me nearly three years as well, borehole for water, tank for water, hole for septic tank, build a bathroom, pipes, pipes, pipes then buy a toilet and get it installed. Long project, but the joy of a flushing toilet in the bush! Congratulations….

  • I have to say, after 42 years on the planet using drinking water to flush the toilets I used it has been a truly rewarding experience to move off grid and not have a flushing toilet. We could probably have a “normal “ toilet, either using the existing pipe that goes to god knows where, or with a clever worm composting and soak away system. But frankly where we live (SE Bulgaria) is a dry climate, our water goes off all the time, and it is unlikely to get better, so I prefer to use any available water (we have 15000 litres of rainwater storage) to keep our food plants going not sending my 💩 a few metres away from the dunny 😂

And on our other house it was more like 20 years 🙄 Okay, both of these places we only lived in for up to half of each year, but still. The last straw was when our three children, plus two significant others (who we had not met before) came for Christmas and severely overloaded the composting toilet. Guess who cleaned it out. 🤢 I can certainly identify with your jubilation!!
