No more braving the weather to use a toilet - sweet! So, does this composting toilet have a wheely-bin setup?

By removing the front of the pooper cabinet with 4 screws a 20 gallon rubber made wheelie bin is exposed and easily removed. The other skiddable poppers contain the 30 gallon version wheelie bin and we found the 20 gallon to be more suitable for our small space.

Your new home is looking great. Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I can't wait to hear about what it's like to live there!

So, is the first wofati cooler inside when it's hot outside?

I think I'll just lie down here for a second. And ponder this tiny ad:
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
