Now that would just be too easy ... and no fun at all .


FD - why not just connect the new pipe into the existing pipe that runs into the septic tank.

FD, Gra is pulling ya leg, he wouldn't have the faintest idea on what to do .

SilentC has come up with the best solution IMHO

And usually first to admit it

F'ing D.,
You can always do what I did - build a new house and a shed with all the trimmings. My wife calls my shed the "Taj MaShed".
All I need now is about another $20,000 of woodworking gear.

Obtain a permit first from your council and then engage a plumber.

It is for a plumber.

cut the pump line into the sewer pipe on the inlet side of the septic

Strewth! I thought surely someone would mention incinerating toilets. No pipes, no plumbing, no water, no nothing except a powerpoint or battery. Used on boats all the time.

For a shower, just attach a shower head to a pole in the ground and run a garden hose to the pipe. Simple as.

FlyingDuck try this number 1300 783 601 OPTION NUMBER 2 FOR PUMPS.

I'm amazed that no-one has mentioned composting toilets - go to your library and look at back issues of OwnerBuilder for suppliers.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned using that bucket over in the corner.

Works for me.

BT...you da man.

Pizz in an empty coke bottle and no.2 in an empty paint can. Seal the lid and put in wheelie bin.

Easy...

My mate the painter used to pickup all the doggie doo in his yard and place it in empty 20 litre paint cans.
Took them to the tip, threw them out. we watched the tip scrounger gather them up thinking they had paint in them cause they were heavy.

I bet he still has nightmares about the stink...

That'd be like peeing on a electric fence.
