Squatty bog

[123everton]

I'm putting a wet room in my garage so I won't one of those squatty bogs, like you get abroad, to save space, a second hand one will do as I won't be living in it.
Anyone know where I can find one?
Preferably north west.
Thanks.

Thank God for Eddie, providing a serious reply, bet everton's frothing at the mouth over our sillier answers :-)

As for squatting V sitting, surely it's easier to sit on something than it is to squat over something?

Sometimes I can't believe the more surreal replies i've made on this forum over the years...this is one of 'em....

Actually, as snags says, from an erm.......ergonomical point of view, squatty pans ARE better for you.
In countries where they are 'the norm' there is far less incidence of piles, constipation, and other 'rear end' complaints.
However, they don't save space and internal drainage connections through your garage floor, instead of through the wall can be far more costly.......

[snags]

Off course... doesn't everyone? ;-p

^ Obviously I meant 'of'... sorry mark...

Oh they had these in Turkey at Aspendos and I told the bloke trying to sell me loo paper that someone had nicked his toilet. I take my own wet wipes everywhere and he got nowt outta me and they had proper civilised plumbing available for those with a preference.

I didn't realise my ablutions would pique this much interest, lol.
I'm not going to bury it completely I'll raise it slightly so the outlet is above ground, I'm going to use an old electric shower to give me hot and cold water whilst fashioning a retractable sink.
A second hand one would be ideal, as it is only a garage after al, the one in the picture is almost exactly what I'm looking for.
P.S.
Squatties are no good when you have the squitties, if ya scatter bombing it's terrible sight, I think there must be a technique to em.

Aim will come with practice Everton.

Errmm...what happens if your knees are getting on....????
I mean..it's ok for folk who've used them all their lives....but for us pampered souls.....ouch!!

Put an end to texting or phoning on the loo, which can only be a good thing.
Raising it off the ground won't make using it any easier, the hole will be the same distance from your outlet, but you do risk falling off.
Don't see how it saves space.

[123everton]

No, but it saves on digging, it also ensures the pipe has the fall to reach the drain easily.
So second hand squatties, any ideas?

[hc4361]

Cheap alternative. No plumbing required.

Thanks HC, that looks ideal, may go for it, the idea is that I'll fit some grating over it so that means it can be stood on.
I got the idea off an old friend who sailed on submarines, and constantly reminded us that on subs "you shower, s h i t and shave all in the same place."

[B00]

Hang on- you'll be standing on what you've just peed (or worse) into?

also useful for washing the dishes in, B00.

[B00]

That's true, three jobs done at once. Multi tasking, what I like to hear ;-)

[123everton]

The grating will be hinged, so you lift it up first, do the doo, and then return it.
I'll use the sink as the cistern, fill it, remove the plug and bang, the dirt is gone.

pmsl at the vision of snags eating his sandwiches on the dunny.
And everton's comment "scatter bombing".
