![#39 Modern Compost Toilet for our Tiny House [1/2 plywood sheet]](/img/n.gif)
A vinegar bottle works great in the toilet with the johnny urine diverter. Also, you can cut a slit in the front to see how full the vinegar bottle is. We had that set up in our 5th wheel and didn't use the fan in it. Worked great and didn't smell. Put a little vinegar in the urine bottle....no smell ever. Also, spray the diverter with water vinegar solution. Pete moss over each poop and never any smell.
Yes my mom Only cleans her toilet with vinegar. In Germany, you can buy a whole cleaning series based on vinegar for kitchen for floors the bathroom really good for the environment
Nice job, held my breath when you bent it😬
I know right! That was a scary moment 😆
love it ,you may want to seal the inside with something like flex seal just for easy clean up and it would keep any spills out of the wood ,just a thought ,loving the build
Hey thank you! We actually out several coats of polycrylic on it to seal it for that reason. It almost feels like glass/plastic now.
Great job! Lovely design
*Great video, tfs!!!* This model has a nicer look to it than the 'boxes' & makes it much easier to put anywhere ya need to. I'm having a MAJOR plumbing issue (?) & live in an RV full time, so I think I'm gonna do exactly what you did but seal off my the main toilet source, etc. Additionally, this will save me a ton of $$$.
Good luck to the two of you on your bus conversion - I've seen some done that are just AMAZING! Happy Camping to yous from
the East Coast of the U.S.! ~Peace✌🏽
Ah that would be great! Yes we love it we are however changing out our diverter, we didn’t love it. The toilet build and shape is great the diverter just wasn’t. Well good look hope you get those plumbing issues all worked out! Thanks for watching!
Love it! We will be making a similar one soon. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks you guys! And that’s awesome, we’re so happy with how it turned out, let us know if you have any questions and can’t wait to see it!!
Excellent design!
Awesome!!
Omg that looks amazing!!!!
Thank you! We love it! We ended up switching out the diverter for a throne diverter and it’s now perfect!
I'm glad I found your video! I like the more refined/commercial look of rhis design; and that's what I've seeking without the high cost! I'll be building one in the coming weeks.
Ah that’s great! We’ve been using ours over a year now and love it! It’s been great! I’d recommend Compost Throne Diverter too! That was a game changer!
Very talented! Nice toilet
Thank you! We love it!
Great build.... Look forward to future review of how you like it. 😎
Thanks so much! Spoiler alert, we love it so far!!
Thanks for sharing.....what kinda plywood is that?
Great job on the kerfing and forming!
Good use of the clamping cauls also.
I would recommend a couple of small modifications to the build in the future.
I would start by using a 2 part epoxy.
The stability and strength of the bend will be increased significantly by using epoxy.
I would also suggest using a laminate instead of paint to give the ultimate finished look.
Otherwise, awesome work!!
Wow great job. Enjoying videos on YT. I live over in the Triad here in NC.
Hey neighbor haha that’s not too far from us. Thanks so much! We’re happy with how it turned out!
Great to see you ..thanku so much for sharing ..you are amazing all you can do ...whooo you have a toilet ..my mum has one ..happy with it too ..have a beautiful blessed week much love and God bless always x
We are so excited! And so happy how it came out! I was so afraid of breaking it haha! Thanks Wendy! Always great reading your comments :)
@@TheHiveDrive you guys are amazing x
You are really good with that saw!
I would have to use a guide for my saw.
Ah thank you! I was super nervous making those cuts 😬 😆
I hear ya … u gotta try it out n see if it “fits” 🚽 🤣 😜
Isn’t it just so cool learning how to do new things … like things u never even thought of . 🙏🏼❤️🚍
I know I’ve impressed 🙌🏽🙌🏽 myself in ways I could have never nightmared up lol 🤪😳☺️
Cheers 🍻to bus life 🚍💫🙏🏼
Smart template 👍🏽
Great job guys, loved ur reaction to it turning out hahha 💗🙌🏽🙌🏽😉
Thanks for sharing
~Vicky n Terry 💫
Oh it’s so true! I’ve learned so many things that I’ve never done during this bus build! It’s amazing! Cheers to you guys 🍻
Hi, this is awesome! Going to be building one in the next few days! I was wondering, how did you decide how many slits to put into the wood and what spacing did you use?
Hey I got the template from @modernhousecabin they sell a template for like 10$ it’s well worth the purchase.
Nice work. Have you been happy with non-churned compost? I've built one and trying to figure out how to mix the mulch.
Hey we honestly have loved it! We layer compost on top after every use so we go through compost and have to empty faster than if you had a churner but it’s worked great for us.
@ a minimum, I would fiberglass the entire inside of the toilet. I would fiberglass ALL of it making it waterproof & easy to clean! Well worth the time & effort..
The polycrylic has sealed it and made it waterproof, also the toilet is really just the casing for Johnny compost system which is all plastic and easy to clean. 🤙
Who knew building a toilet could be so interesting and you tube worthy?? Great job building that pot, Scott. Sorry that rhymes...Good to see it all came together well and it's serving it's purpose for you.Now that you're a few months out and have been going about your business with it, are you still pleased as punch with it??
Yes we love it! We have still yet to divert it to a tank so once we do that it will be even better!
I love it!! I would love to build it but not the most handy woman! Anybody else rebuild it?
Looks good. Would like to make one. Do you have dimensions? How thick the plywood? Spacing of the 59 cuts? How tall? How wide? Where did you buy the bucket kit? Are there plans? Do you intend to install a detachable mixing bail?
Hey thanks so much. We love it. However we are looking at switching out our urine diverter we don’t love it. We used Johnny compost system. For the dimensions etc i can’t remember I bought the plan from @modernhousecabin and it was perfect!
Great job. Just so you are clear, the medium helps dry out the solids but composting takes a long time for it to become "just soil." As such....the term, "composting toilet" is a bit misleading. Enjoy!
Hey thanks! Oh yeh for sure, however all the components of it will become soil, so if we bury it in the ground it will all decompose into soil after about a year.
Great job! Just wondering where you purchased the urine diverter??
Hey we got it off Etsy but we switched it out, I’d recommend compost throne diverter it’s perfect!
thronecompostingtoilet.com
It takes 6 months for poop to compost but the idea in nice nice build a valve on the urine diverter and a spray bottle to use after pee would take care of urine odor
Oh for sure but it turns none the less, and yes we installed a spray bidet for that reason and it works great 👍🏼
Hello- How is it working for you? I think the answer to that is incredibly important. I can find its of builds but no further information on how these things are working long term for the DIY. Thanks for any updates.
Hey honestly it been good, however we are switching out to diverter. The Johnny compost system just wasn’t working for us. The way it was set up we just didn’t feel like we could “go” normally, it’s like we had to be careful to make sure the fluids didn’t splash back into the composting area.
Hey great video! I love a good compost toilet video haha. I have made a few on my channel. My question for you is how will you be connecting to your grey water system? We connected our composting toilet and built a pee trap. But I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there is another way of doing it? Whats your plan there?
Hey there! Our current plan to use a Hepvo Waterless Waste Valve it acts like a p-trap but with a membrane instead of using water.
I actually just today heard of Kildwick brand [urine separator for compost toilets]. Idk if it works any btr than the other, I'm just beginning my journey into toilet research 😂🤣 & what works best for me. Just an fyi.
I like this design I just wouldn't both putting a urine diverter, maybe a computer fan and vent only
Sooo for short term ….. who “job” is it going to be to empty the jug 😳🤔
Lol
Haha! That would be mine (scott) 😂
Looks great but you say you're going to run the pee into the grey tank? That's not OK is it? It's not grey matter technically it's a black tank then?
This is a very good tutorial on how to build a composting toilet. My question ,how do you hygenically clean your hands after using the loo in this situation?
Hey thanks so much. We have a regular sink in our bathroom in order to wash our hands just like normal.
Who gets to use it first?
Haha! Scott got to use it first!!! 😆
Good vid but, anything from the toilet, solid or liquid is black water. Grey is from sink or shower
Unless you pee in the shower 😉 😂
Not a composting toilet, just a slopjar/ chamber pot
It is a composting toilet. 👍
clueless
Good movie?
