Send Bill here. We have one made from ferrocement and wood that has been used
non-stop for several years, handled up to 45 people on site, and cost less
than USD500 to build. It even has a view. Modified from Vietnamese double
vault design, utilizes two chambers. No urine separation. Uses rice hills or
sawdust for carbon.
