a toilet with a view

ok... so I was debating if I should take this down a level but I figure I've posted stuff about toilets before... so why should this be any different! :) But before I get to the toilet... this is the house that I'm helping construct. I'm (sofar) a part of the "straw" crew (i.e. crew to work on the insultating and prepping of the superbly insulated walls for the plastering crew... which is the next stage of straw bale insulated houses)


So... I think I mentioned that there are elements of this job that are hardier than what I (as spoilt city guy) am used to. Mainly, thinking and prepping a weeks' supply of food in a cooler, tent sleeping (albeit more recently tent inside the house we're building with a friendly nightly visit from a racoon who is convinced there is food near me and has easy access as there are no doors, so I have to growl loudly to scare him away before going back to sleep again), showering in a lake or now the campsite not far from the jobsite and the best for last... going to the loo in the woods.

This is the side-view from this airy "facility". I have to say it is awe-inspiring and the only draw back is looking to make sure there's no bears in the vicinity! :)
Here is the cool throne. Thanks S. for makin' it! :) Many a contemplative moment to be had here. :)
