Composting toilet

We have our new compost toilet up and running. So far so good, but it is early days. Not that we are expecting any problems. Eddie has done a lot of research on them and watched you tube videos done by people who have had the same toilet installed into their caravans.

It has sphagnum moss in the bottom chamber, where no 2 goes. After you are done, you turn the handle and mix it up. No 1 goes into a removable chamber in the front. Neither of the two can meet, as it will up set the compost making. When it is full it goes into a rubbish bag for removal. If you want to use it in the garden it has to stay in the bag for another month or so. 

Unpacked and ready for installation

Installed and ready to go.

We bought some appropriate cushion covers. Cool aren't they?

I went to Te Aroha yesterday with the tramping club. We were going to walk around the historical walk, but the weather was wet and horrible so we just went to a museum in a house. It is absolutely chock a block with royal memorabilia. She also collects prams made by Thompson as they were made by her husband's grandfather back in the day. She has copies of some of Kate's dresses and Meghan's white coat. She does events, so she has the costumes for people to wear. They had a big “do” at Te Aroha on the day of Harry and Meghan's wedding, using clothes that she has. A bit odd and interesting all at the same time. Isn't it funny what people get into for a hobby.
