    Next job is to cut the access port and land the water heater. Then frame and hang my cabinets. I'll take Sept off to go fishin with it and if I'm happy with the layout, I'll gut it all and prep for paint/flooring.

    Bed frame is rebuilt. Included access to get to tank, fittings, pump. Still waiting on the sliding door track that will cover the opening right of the tank (I have military footlockers that fit under the bed). Water tank has it's new home and ready to plumb. Pump enclosure is behind the tank...

    Yeah. I track what your saying, I really do ( two CS degrees, retired IT, system admin for 12 years, web designer, help desk, and moderated untold tech forums). Or I can just hold discussions here and document the build on a platform more suited for that type of publication. I prefer the later...

    Oh, I'll still be posting the discussion here. But it is hard to document/follow build threads with nested discussion.

    Just the opposite. I'm leaving this one for just such discussions. I'll do an actual build documentation on something with a separate comment section so as not to detour from the actual build/progress/components. Something like Instagram (but not liberally biased/owned)). :)

    Hence the flow rate calculator results that I posted. Most residential spickets produce 45-50psi at the outlet (which degrades depending on hose size/length). But I follow your point. I'm just not sure it will be an issue for me. I can fill my tank in just over 3 mins.

    Na, but thanks. A discussion setting isn't really ever the ideal for documenting a specific build. It's great for feedback but it easily strays off topic. I'll relocate the actual build thread to another non-threaded site.

    Revisiting this comment. Not sure why gravity feed from a hose would be any slower than connecting the same hose to an inlet. The gravity inlet and tank opening is 1.5" going in which is larger than a garden hose. Even at full pressure and garden hose can only move so much water. In any...

    Anyone know where to find tempered glass tilt out windows?

    Lots of options from the EU, but taxes, shipping, yadda, yadda. And they are always way over priced.

    Don't want to bother them. They already have enough to do giving me forum bans. ;)

    Maybe a generator/APU thread is in order? I don't have an APU in this build/thread. I covered my genset some pages ago. Just trying to keep things on topic. I don't mind a small hijack, but this is supposed to be a build thread. Or I could change the title and start another that covers the...

    The Laveo has the same specs as a traditional toilet. Never seen one of those incinerators before, but if those metal chompers got ahold of you then you might end up with crispy bits. :)

    I suppose I could devise a way to fill the tank via city line. But I've read some horror stories of folks blowing out their water tanks if the regulator fails.
