Farmhouse renovation: porta potty for 4 months until plumbing is done.

Sam O.asked 1 viewHome Renovations & Long-termLong term rentalService frequencyBuying vs rentingStandard unitDeluxe unit

We're gutting our 1920s farmhouse this summer, and the only bathroom is completely gone. The plumbing contractor says we'll be without a working toilet for at least four months. There are four adults living here full-time, no kids, and we have friends over most weekends. The porta potty would sit on our gravel driveway, which is level and has clear access for a truck. I'm looking at a long-term rental and wondering which type makes the most sense for daily use. Should I go with a basic standard unit, or is it worth upgrading to a deluxe model with a sink? Also, how often would we need service for four people using it every day?

For a four-month home renovation with four adults and weekend guests, a deluxe portable toilet is the best choice. A deluxe unit has a flushing mechanism, a sink with running water, and a mirror, which makes daily use more comfortable than a standard unit. Since you have guests on weekends, consider adding a separate handwash station to reduce wait times and improve hygiene. Weekly service is standard for normal use, but with four daily users and weekend visitors, you might need service every five to six days to prevent overfilling and maintain cleanliness. The rental cost depends on the unit type, service frequency, and rental duration. Your gravel driveway with clear truck access is ideal for placement and servicing.
