Some explanation is in order: Cathie being tired of dumping 5 gallon toilet holding tanks (a mile down the hill at the HOA's septic vault) about once a year, she got into a big project involving a wheeled 35 gallon tank (blue shape mostly hidden here) that she found by web searching. Construction is incomplete; there will be a sturdy wood top on the toilet box.

Yes, we cut the bottoms off two hanging closet doors (grin) to allow the new holding tank to slide underneath the interior shelving.

To empty the big new tank, we'll lift off the "toilet box", then roll out the tank (weighing up to 280 pounds) on its "roller board" support base (not visible here), then tip it up onto its built in two wheels. We will have to build a ramp to get it into the car or truck for transport, or else hire a pump out company now and then.
