Adios Amigos…..again!
Off to the farm again. I wanted to share this really cool experience with you from our last visit. We stopped by an antique/junk shop to look at bikes. From the parking lot, the bike my daughter wanted to check out looked like this.
As we got closer, we found this.
Can you see the baby? We will wait for the nest to vacate and check in again on the bike.
Also, for those of you who really, really care….here is the compost toilet husband made in a couple of hours. I somehow managed to get rid of the rest of the photos showing how he did it.
We will seal the wood when we get up to the farm and then I can take more photos. We made it a few inches taller than the bucket so that squatting doesn’t harm our old bones, but we will prop it up on a bed of bricks. Easy to clean with a hose.
You need a five gallon bucket, plywood, a toilet seat, screws, hinges and a drill or a screw driver and of course, a saw. I have heard rumors that hardware stores will cut wood to specs if you buy from them so if you don’t trust your ability to square things off, try that.
This is our first time staying at the farm. We have been renting motels. What stopped us was the toilet. Problem solved. Now if we can actually compost the product, we will be on our way to being tried and true bushmen and women:)
Also we will be gone till Wednesday or Thursday of next week and we do not have internet connection at the house so I will be MIA as far as this blog goes as well as missing reading your wonderful thoughts. Famous last words….”I’ll be back”.
