So, as is normal this time of year, I look at the Weather App to see what may come this way.
So far it is saying that the weekend will be decent (as in 10C) high for the weekend. So, that’s good and I’ll take that positive.
Yet in a week it looks like the daytime high will drop below freezing and stay there.
This is always my sign to stop using my Black and Grey Water Tanks. Meaning, I can’t pour things down my sinks or use my toilet.
This is because the valve that I have to open in order to drain those tanks will freeze shut. As well all or some of the contents of those tanks will freeze.
I don’t feel like carrying around a block of ice and/or frozen poop for the next four months.
So, it is a precautionary measure that I do, I dump for the last time and just don’t use the sinks or my toilet.
Maybe I could push it a bit longer, but for me, it is not worth the risk.
I will just take things one day at a time and do what I need to do right now in order to get ahead.
As always: Keep your head up, your attitude positive, and keep moving forward!
Ahhh, the benefits of a composting toilet! Also I bought at the dollarama a metal container to pour water into for drinking so I can heat the water to drink when I need it to prevent freezing. My water has not frozen last month and it was -10c outside thanks to focusing on insulating windows and black curtain in the windows to attract the sun and heat from the sun.
