Yeah, bucket with a toilet seat that fits on the rim!
Garbage bags, toilet paper and wet wipes complete the bucket!
When ya gotta go, might as well be comfortable and well equipped!
 
I like the new green with the extra gloss.... looks good. :waytogo:

Not sure why everyone is starting their BB2020 prep so early... there's still 22 days to go. In the old days, that would be 14 more days for everyone to relax before the thrashing would commence!!!!!

I took a piece of primered metal to the paint shop about 6 yrs ago, and had them match the Green Zinc that I used for the first quick coverup in 2011, and to make it a bit brighter, and I like it real well. This base coat has to be cleared, so I got some matte clear to finish it off. I actually wish it would have been a bit flatter, but no time for experimentation now.

The ones on the left came with the used set of lift springs I bought. I didn't know any better so I put them in. Not the best decision Ive ever made, but not the worst either!

The perch is caving in some in the middle where that narrow shim was riding...I may add some reinforcement to the existing perch. Its not leaning yet, or wait til later for a replacement perch if I don't get this one strengthened up.
