Lawn Toilets - the latest suburban fad
Tired of the same old shit? Well, so was Lydia Hanson. Lydia decided she had enough of the odor left in her bathroom after her husband paid a visit. Lydia had the same problem that most of you had: taking a shower or a bath. "The smell was atrocious," says Lydia. "I would feel so dirty just using the shower."
Lydia then had a brainstorm. "I get this call from this lady asking me to put in a toilet," said plumber Joe McBride. "I'm thinking, 'You're nuts, lady, but whatever you want.'"
Lydia's brainstorm turned into reality
At first the neighbors refused to look into Lydia's yard, but then Lydia began to notice that plumbers we installing toilets in at several of her neighbors' houses. It's not just Lydia's neighborhood, the lawn toilet trend has truly captured the American imagination.
After she noticed that her neighbors were installing lawn toilets, Lydia Hanson and Joe McBride decided to start Lawn Toilets, Inc. Lawn Toilets will design and install a toilet directly on your lawn. Lawn Toilets operates in fourteen states and is looking into offering outhouse design and construction along with the Lawn Toilet itself. "Our goal is to make the Lawn Toilet a symbol of good suburban living, like the Support Our Troops ribbon magnets or the different flags marking each holiday," says Lydia.
Designer Cindy Sherman sees the lawn toilet as "a new kind of freedom for the home." Writing in Kitchen & Bath magazine Sherman notes that the lawn is still usable as a lawn and that the toilet can actually be used to fertilize most lawns. "It really serves a double purpose," says Sherman, "Plus you get rid of that odor in the house. A win-win situation if you ask me." Then Sherman pulled down her pants and asked that I give her some privacy.
