the compost toilet

well, since the weather has been bad everything has been put off for another week. we started the compost toilet so i decided to put up the pictures of the progress so far. i am still wood burning the toilet seat lid so i havent included that yet...
we gathered scrap 2x4's and some plywood from another project. the wooden toilet seat was just laying around but i removed the lid so i could wood burn a henna inspired design on it. the bucket is from salt for a saltwater fish tank but a spackle bucket will do, they're the same size.
we built the frame heavier on the bottom for stability
after covering the frame with plywood and cutting a hole for the toilet seat to be attached to, we sanded the plywood as smooth as possible then stained and polyurethaned it so it can be wiped clean easily... pictures of the finished toilet coming soon :)
