How To Make An Emergency Toilet
Here's a way to make an inexpensive portable toilet if your plumbing ever goes out.
  All you need is a few plastic 5-gal. buckets, a toilet seat, 6 eye screws and 6 stove bolts.
  First, saw the top 4 to 6 inches off the first bucket and discard the rest.  
  Space the eye screws around the bottom of the toilet seat inside where the top half of the bucket will go. Drill holes to match where the eye screws are in the top part of the bucket and put the stove bolts through the eye screws and bucket to hold everything together.
  Now, simply slip the modified toilet seat into the top of the other bucket.
  Sprinkle kitty litter or sawdust into the bucket after each use and discard the waste when the "toilet" is full.
