Re: [papercreters] Re: permit to use papercrete in city in Texas

Greetings,

The toilet is a standard bucket toilet aka humanure. the book is on the

is considered black water, is similar to this video.

We wanted systems that we can build ourselves and that are financially
responsible. Also, that we can repair ourselves. Like most people on
this list, we are monetarily challenged. We also wanted a system that
the county won't complain about.

Bright Blessings,
