Arnold, CA…We are now the age where the fundamental questions of what infrastructure is needed for single family homes and small offices and buildings is in flux. In California in many counties permitting, planning, utility hook up costs, impact fees and various miscellaneous charges are the largest single cost of a new home. In some counties this can run over $100,000 dollars.
At the same time this same infrastructure has been the blame for some of our biggest disasters. Power lines have been one of the primary causes of many of the worst and deadliest California wildfires. Municipal water supplies like the one in Flint Michigan prove that city water hook ups may not always be the healthiest and certainly not the cheapest options. If you are in a coastal area or along many rivers you no doubt have read stories or received notices of beach closures etc from raw sewage spills & contaminations.
So not only is our centralized infrastructure more costly on a monthly basis than ever before it may actually be an increasing risk for your safety and especially the safety of your bank balance.
The good news is now it is easier and cheaper than ever before to generate your own electricity through solar and other means. For safe drinking water there are now even systems that will pull water literally out of thin air. On the other end of the scale are filtration systems that can make drinkable safe water from almost any water source.
Have we reached a tipping point where relying on third parties for our basic needs is no longer the best option? If you are willing to pay the price in time, effort and responsibility of being in charge of your own comforts and safety there has never been a better time than now.
Where do we fit in? At Hewn one our goals is to provide products that fill some of these basic needs. Our patent pending Privy Composting Outhouse™ can solve your onsite sewer needs for pennies on the dollar. In California now average cost of a new septic system is between $26,500 and $29,000. Our outhouse can have you functional at a basic level for a fraction of the cost with no monthly bills.
Our first infrasture product is our Privy Composting Outhouse™ and it can have you instantly “Good to Go” for only $999. It is designed around cheap composting bins (32 gallon trash cans). Instead of flushing a user just pours sawdust in after the job.
Nothing touches the soil. Compost bins are hot swappable in under a minute & can handle surge usage if needed. They are ready for delivery within 14 days of order and can be finished in your choice of colors, type of toilet seat etc.
When used in the recommended manner there is no smell, bugs in summer, etc. It is a simple, inexpensive, long term solution for basic, safe & convenient waste solution. Technologically composting toilets are entering the mainstream with their water savings, beneficial output & independence from centralized systems.
The average toilet uses 1,200 gallons of water a year. When you remove the water from the equation the total volume in the waste product is surprisingly small. Out pilot composting outhouse has been in use for over 2 years and still doesn’t need to have the composting bin replaced.

Is Semi-Permanent Infrastructure & Micro Grids Our Future? ~ John Hamilton added by admin on

John you’re full of shit.
^^^this
What do you do with the can when it’s full,John?
According to guidelines by orgs such as the WHO, UN, USFS, etc the compost is rendered inert and beneficial after composting. Think of it as a small, self contained, not contact with the soil septic system. As for going outside? Everything has a price. If a septic system is $26k to $30k how much is a bit of inconvenience worth?
You’re full of shit.
We all are 🙂 It is not 100 years ago. Now we know scientifically how long and best practices to dealing with waste. How about a system with no moving parts & relies solely on mother nature and time to finish the job? Yes, life is easier now than then but why did societal happiness peak in the 1950s and decline afterwards? Now even life expectancy is declining. Our modern society is not only killing us sooner but we are more depressed in the process. Maybe life should take a little more effort. What if the only moving part of your life was you?
Thank You RFK

I’d be puking my guts out come clean out day, stupid idea!
You don’t clean it out. You never touch it. You slide the bin out and slide in a new one in. You then put the lid on the bin, set it aside and let mother nature finish the job.
They would love you at Avery Transfer Station when the day came to dump the can.
I have had 3 outhouses at 3 homes in Vt and Pa.
When it’s cold outside, add snow, and an outhouse is not that good. They were in ground, not compost type.
So nature calls, during the night, no fun to walk to the privy. Imagine a bout of diarrhea.
A chamber pot is not a very pleasant alternative, or a camp potty , and having to deal with the bag of you know what.
The same applies in using a porta potty, having to leave the home . Can you have one in your garage, or attached to your home? Either one, a privy or porta potty?
No thanks.
I’ll take the throne any day no matter the cost, flush your troubles away.

That is what the sawdust is for after each use. It provides a vapor and pest barrier. Best practice is to completely cover each use with sawdust.
When done this way it makes most public restrooms look like toxic waste dumps in comparison
$26k for a septic system? Maybe in over regulated Commiefornia. In other states you can put one in for $10k.
I bet there selling like hot cakes.
Why do I need a outhouse I’ll just hang my ass over a garbage can.
Like the Musk Presidency. In the sh itter
Sniveler you’re shitting in a 5 gal. bucket at the trailer you should purchase a outhouse, Anti
