A Special Brand of Crazy

If a bear gets into my trash then shame on me:

I do have to say I like the open air facilities he has on he deck though!

THE GUY HAS TOILETS AS YARD DECOR.... YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF...

He's a better man than I, Gunga Din! Well...at least better at crazy!

rofllol I resemble that remark. Got one outside right now. I want to use it as a flower pot but my wife is going to make me take to the dump.

If I took the tank off it would be two flower pots.

your wife is BRILLIANT

I am still looking at those fixtures as a functional adventure in amateur plumbing; they could be handy in the summer time but problematic when the temp dips below 32F. I suppose you could drain them out each fall and shut down the water going to them... Set those issues aside, there is a solution it's just not immediately obvious.

Concentrating on the positives, the open air format would be a bonus after certain meals (no more having to open the windows and crank up the fans) and clean up would be a breeze (think garden hose or better still power washer!)! I have to believe it would also effect your property value.

oh it would affect your property value

I just don't see the problem.

Neptune, the problem is you are over looking the loss of functionality, perfectly good plumbing fixtures being used for something other than what it was intended for. At the same time, I applaud your re-use of the fixtures. I'll be the first to admit I would be very tempted to conduct some experiments of the ballistic variety; how many .308 rounds does it take to make a pile of powdered porcelain out of a toilet?

But seriously folks, how cool would it be to have two functional toilets on your deck? You could legitimately say things like "...let's go sit on the deck, watch the bears raid the trash, and enjoy our evening constitutionals." When the bears get so close they scare the excrement out of you, you're already on the best seat in the house! Honestly, that's the kind of experience you could charge admission for!

I do not see that. I love functionality as much as I hate phony air scoops. One of these with every planter.

The sign would say in case of emergency cut and squat. I think that would handle even a San Miguel emergency. It would also provide nutrients and enhance growth.
