That helps cut down on the amount of water we have to transport to the cabin. <BR/><BR/>Right now we have an outhouse on shore. To cut down on trips up the hill (four flights of stairs), we use what we lovingly call "Mr. Pee Bucket" that gets carried up the hill once every day or so. We are looking into getting a composting toilet in the future though. A brand available locally is called Invirolet, but there are several brands to choose from. <BR/><BR/>MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-2052072761999144642008-10-27T17:00:00.000-07:002008-10-27T17:00:00.000-07:00Hi, I was wondering how you get your drinking wate...Hi, I was wondering how you get your drinking water? Do you get it from the lake and boil it? Also do you have a flushing toilet on the float or is it a composting toilet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-42685696039553753922008-10-23T11:45:00.000-07:002008-10-23T11:45:00.000-07:00Wow, what a scary experience you faced back then, ...Wow, what a scary experience you faced back then, Jane!

She's with me right now, but the condo is warmer so she is hanging out there this trip. You told me lots about your Montana cabin. I know it wasn't easy living, but it had lots of rewards. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-45428028042283358472008-10-21T13:01:00.000-07:002008-10-21T13:01:00.000-07:00Alone time must be wonderful.

I can,t think of any time that I was alone.When I lived in Montana I would take a book and go up to my rock in the woods and read for a hour or so that is about alone as I ever was.<BR/> I see your little mama is sitting on your porch.
