Pat Callaghan :

Whatever type you get, don't do what I did when I was
redoing my bathroom.

I was regularly dumping my porta-potti( I don't know
what brand really)at my parents house in their toilet.
One day while they were at work I went over to dump
it. I fumbled with the front door lock while holding
the potti and finally opened the front door. When I
shiftef my hands to carry the potti through the door,
I mistakenly grabbed the latch that holds the sump
section to the bowl section. The two came apart and a
few days of sewage came pouring out onto their
hardwood floors! I screamed something in horror (
neighbors a few doors down heard it)! Fortunatley no
carpeting was in sight and I ceaned and cleaned for a
couple of hours until most of the smell went away (or
so I thought). Mom called when she got home from work,
and asked if every thing was all right, there was a
strange odor in the living room. Well, I owned up to
what happened and she made me promise to PUT THE POTTI
DOWN when I opened the door. I paid for some
professional cleaning and all was well.

So, just my two cents. Please be careful, and thanks,
Mom, for being so understanding.
