John has been talking about a toilet and shower block down at the river near Jim's Hut at Struan Farm for awhile now. He's thinking about a second hut and maybe a camp site down there eventually too, so basic amenities are looking to be essential.
Recently, after meeting an architect who lives in an eco village outside Kaiwaka, we've been exploring options to use solar water heating, lights, and a composting toilet.
And so Struan Farm's Eco Block is starting to take shape, plans have been drafted. It's looking like the block will indeed have a composting toilet, shower, and kitchen facility, which will provide more room for guests inside Jim's Hut and keep the cooking separate from the sleeping area. The block will sit slightly downhill to the right of Jim's Hut.
Yes (of course) it will have a name. If not "The Eco Block" we've joked about "Loo & Chew" or "Eat & Excrete." Since the latter is a bit indelicate, right now "Loo & Chew" is the leading contender.....!
