    Could you whip up an enclosure with a decent camping commode inside the garage? Thinking winter...

    I remember mowing the back yard.. i was about 12 years old....


    Yard was kinda mushy and wet. Didnt smell..but could tell it was moist.
    Made 2 or 3 passes, came back around and the poo poo was shooting up out of the yard. hahahaha

    :yes: Grey water problems are much more pleasant to deal with than black water probs.

    Only if it was grey water... When the washing machine started to drain it displaced black water in the main line pushing it up and out, what came out was a mix of water, solids and sludge. Then when we were jetting the line and broke through, the water that ran out was a lot clearer, we guessed that was the washing machine water.

    Build yourself a compost toilet. They are simple to build and best part is no odor.

    Yup, a load of hay or straw bales, or sawdust, then covered with a tarp to keep dry would likely keep things flowing until the weather is more agreeable...
