Portable Toilet Goes Where Needed MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 9-2-10 Farmer-inventor John Moellering, of Grinnell, Kan., designed and built a portable toilet for his hometown that goes where needed.
"In the spring and summer we put it at the city park. In the fall we move it to the school football field," Moellering explains.
The all-steel building features both a "men's" and a "women's" bathroom, each equipped with a pair of toilets and a sink. Besides running water, the building is also fitted with electricity.
The frame of the building serves as a trailer when fitted with two wheels and a tongue. Moellering simply tows it to the site and, in just a few minutes, hooks it up to sewer, water and electricity. At both sites the building rests on a concrete pad. The building is 8 by 12 ft. in size.
"We have about $2,300 worth of materials into it, much less than what the town had originally planned to spend for two buildings. We've been approached by neighboring towns about the possibility of duplicating our design or possibly even renting the building from us," says Moellering, who has blueprints for the "toilet on wheels."
