We’ve made some progress on the composting toilet on BaanRimNaam.

This is the wooden frame:

While many of the composting toilet designs you find on the internet are basically just boxes, you’ll notice that ours tapers inwards at the bottom. This is to allow you to put your feet closer together and further back so you can more easily support your weight when getting up and sitting down on the toilet.

The 12″ PVC pipe in the center is just a placeholder for the real PVC pipe in the bathroom floor that will act as a chute for the feces:

This pipe goes down under the house where the workers are building a little storage room where the tank will hold the vermicomposting worms:

The worker is welding the support structure for the rails that will allow the tank to roll in and out for access and maintenance. We bought some small wheels to try out for the tank:

Once the rails are built, we will put the wheels on a board to roll the tank in place under the chute.
