I am finding it easier to place photos into a web album, so if you wish to see all of my photos, go to the following URL: http://picasaweb.google.com/shawntisdell/CompostingToiletForWeb . I will only place those most relevant photos to my discussion here.
 | Based on the outline of the toilet base, I traced and cut out a plywood-2 by 8 -plywood sandwich to get a 3 inch thick layer. I tapered the edge mainly for asthetics. This gives a working seat height of 17 1/2 inches. This height is no magic number, it just seems to be about right for most of the family members, especially for our two 5 foot tall special needs ladies. |
 | Here is an off the shelf oval seat. Dimensionally it should fit, however bolt attachments will need to be modified to fit the narrow back of the toilet. I'm not sure if I will use this seat or find another that matches better. This must be a joint decision between my wife and I. We are trying to make it all as attractive as possible for those that may use our new throne. I will keep you posted as we make progress. |
  | The arrow shows where I needed an adapter. The second photo shows a make-shift adapter to be key for this 1 1/4" urinal outlet. I found this adapter as a part of a three part compression seal. Now the adapter fits into a 1 1/2 reducer to 3/4" pvc line which passes through the floor. Now where are my pictures? If you see problems with this, please let me know. |
