Toilets/Potties/Port-A-Potties: Building Temporary One
"To build a toliet, buy the following items from Home Depot or Lowes:
1. 6-8 standard cement blocks. They have 2 square holes in the middle.
2. A 2 x 4 inch by 6 or 8 foot pice of lumber, cut in half (that is Two 3 or 4 feet sections) they will cut it for free at the store if you do not have a saw.
3. Several 5 gallon buckets with lids.
4. A toliet seat."
"5. Place the bucket where you want the toliet to be. Stack 2 cement blocks
behind the bucket and on either side.
6. Your cement blocks should now form a U around the bucket. Be sure the height of the cement blocks exceeds the height of your bucket. If not either add cement blocks or get a shorter bucket, or remove dirt to lower the bucket. The cement blocks MUST be higher that the top of the bucket."
"7. Place the 2 x 4s across the cement blocks.
8.Place the toliet seat across the 2x4.
9. You now have an expedient toliet for cheap."
"I built the following for 2 unprepared, and very grateful, families during the aftermath of a hurricane. One in their garage, the other in their driveway with a privacy tarp.
1. Get a 5 gallon plastic bucket- with a lid.
2. Stack 2 cement builders blocks on each side and the back. This should now form a U around the bucket.
3. Be sure the cement blocks are higher than the bucket.
4. Lay 2 x 4 across the cement blocks. Lowes and Home Depot will cut them in half if you do not have a saw.
5. Attach the toliet seat to the 2 x 4s."
