We Can Pee!

For the longest time we had a toilet but it was not hooked up to the drainage.  It was on our list of things to do but it wasn't as important as getting electricity.  Our daytime movements were no problem because we could just head up to the bathrooms and use those.  However, the trek got tiring in the middle of the night when we would have to tinkle.  We started using the kids' training potty and would go just outside our bus, strategically surrounded by the chairs and tables.  Michael then had the bright idea that we use the potty inside at the top of the stairs so we could have privacy and not have to put on shoes to go outside.  Michael never had these problems because he just whizzed out in nature in the cover of darkness.



This past weekend, Michael assembled the drainage for all the sinks & toilets, and our life has become so much more luxurious!!!!!  We have plumbing for some of our plumbing!  Simone was super relieved to not have to walk up the hill to the bathrooms nor to sit on the little potty.  I was relieved too because I didn't have to throw out the contents anymore of said potty!  



I still have to lug in a tub of water so that we can aid the flushing of our liquids, but that is a small price to pay for the convenience of indoor plumbing.  You can see the tub on the bottom left of the picture.  

We don't do #2 yet in our toilet because we have yet to install our bathroom flooring.  It's already going to stink when we have to pull up the toilet to put the vinyl planks down, but it would have stunk to high heaven if we had to deal with poo.
