ToughButterCup Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well done from a fellow-foul-drain struggler. I dont think much of your outside toilet, though. The one used by your garden gnomes: the one on the concrete plinth. You could at least provide them with some steps, or at worst a ladder. Come on, shape up!?

It gets very odd with the rules about restricting access over a certain depth and BCO may want something adding to the top of the brickwork so beware.

Hi, no I got given the choice of st ps or not so went for no steps. It’s 1.75m down to the bottom so a small ladder will get you access. Have got about another 12ish inches to build up yet so just a brick topper to it to fit the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
