Also need to make the that the prospective user doesn't put anything except s*** and toilet paper down the pan.
The background is that my partner's dad is 94, lives on his own at home and wants to stay that way. At the moment he can get up the stairs but it's getting harder. The only loo is upstairs, a stairlift isn't feasible so it may mean abandoning upstairs altogether. I've scoped out the hallway and can easily get a loo in there, as a simple temporary job with a bit of ply as a partition wall, to be pulled out again when no longer needed and not leaving too many holes. It would be possible to build a proper loo there but that would be too much disturbance. I reckon I can kludge in a loo in a couple of days.
The only other tricky looking job is cutting into a cast iron soil stack. A decent quality Bosch or Starrett holesaw run slowly with plenty of water as lube ought to do the job. I may try to use an ordinary boss, as used for plastic soilpipe, or just silicone the wastepipe into the stack. I did say this was a quick kludge job.
