For all 3, build a shelter and steps. Attach doors in the back
(concrete slabs held in place by lime mortar work well). Run the
urine diverting tube out the hole in the toilet base to a container,
a drainage pit, or into the garden to fertilize the soil.
Finishing the base
Cut a long squatting hole in a platform, with the
upside-down bottle in the center. Urine goes into
the bottle and feces into the chambers below
either end of the hole. Put a cover on half of the
hole, over the chamber that is not in use.
Attach a urine diverter to the front of each hole.
Put toilet seats over the holes.

Put the urine diverting toilet bowl over
one of the holes and cover the other
hole until it is ready to use.
