We love it too, thank you. It comes from two Scot's words: wee meaning small, and wee meaning wee, as in urine. Hooses is another Scot's word for houses, and both words are, we think, very cute. It encapsulates nicely what our first product was, a place to go do your business (yer wees and poos), and freshen up, without making it anyone else's business, literally.

Essentially from need. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say. We wanted to have something more healthy and self-sustaining than our old flush loo which flushed into the sewer, destroyed the planet's water-ways, polluted the seas; destroying our health and our eco-systems. We wanted a water saving toilet which was clean, functional, friendly to the environment, easy to use, and low cost. There was stuff on the market, but it wasn't very appealing, often expensive, looked unsubstantial, and/or was quite labour intensive to maintain with their fans and, pipes, handles, and electrical gizmos. Lots to go wrong or and maintain. The main problems with conventional toilets are that they are reliant on so many factors and others which we take for granted. Gallons of good water goes to waste with every flush which could be used for other things. The need for chemicals, pipes, infrastructure, sewage works, people, and practices which are hazardous to health, etc. We wanted to avoid being reliant on these things. We wanted to be more self-sufficient and green. We wanted a solution, so I began to research what we could do to achieve this. ​ ​A vast amount of people in the world have none of the things which we take for granted, the main thing being a supply of water to flush away. Water is such a precious thing that many of us rarely realise we should take care of it. Every year the average person flushes up to 50,000 litres of good clean drinking water per year down the toilet whilst people are dying of thirst or waterborne diseases from contaminated water in the same world. Sheer madness!

Traditionally, many people have had an area or a hole in the ground where they do all their business; an open-pit latrine. Not only does this method smell terrible, but more than anything it attracts flies and other bugs which spread disease. A terrible cycle. ​ To overcome this issue, we thought we could get around this by somehow separating the material, keep them covered; preventing disease and not polluting the environment. When you think about it, keeping our excretions separate (front excretions and rear excretions) seems a quite a natural idea. We have a front and a back exit on our body for good reason perhaps? God's handiwork lead the way for the design. ​ After a bit of searching to see if there was anything out there, there were a few different ideas on the scene, and then we stumbled across a simple under the toilet seat separator design. We tried it. It was perfect! No fuss, just plain and simple. No gadgetry, no parts to maintain, no fuss, and best of all no smell.

This might surprise you, it is without a doubt our very own Wee Hoose. It is my favourite product because it saves so much water and gives back to the planet. The compost from the loo eventually ends up growing our food and the cycle starts all over again; A thing of beauty, and all handcrafted by myself. I never get tired of making them, or using them, as each one is making the world a better place, one movement at a time. Chortle.

I don't think compost toilets are the future any more, they were needed yesterday, and are needed more than ever today! So, okay, they are the future, but the future might be too late. Don't delay what can be achieved today, right!? Order one, get composting, and get looking after this gift of a planet we have! Final final words...The Wee Hoose Compost Toilet is the most creative, simple, mindful, and green solution to the biggest problem. Inventions like our Wee Hoose Compost Toilet are the hug the world needs. I believe we all must try to live in accord with nature than against it, and the Wee Hoose provides a means to do this. Be a better steward of this gem we all live on and get a compost toilet today!
