There are many types of owner built homes. I dream of building myself one someday. My favorite is stone but there are straw, cordword and even paper.

More about composting toilets
Further to my post on composting toilets, Florida Solar Cracker House has an interesting description of the actual use of a Clivus Multrum "Multrum I" toilet. They had problems at first, but after two years the toilet was working perfectly.
We're thinking about something like this for a cottage in the hills for part-year use. One of the manufacturers (I think Envirolet), advertises one tank-removal per year. We just need to decide whether to spend the $1500 on the thing or build one. On the one hand one recent blog from Canada indicates some city regulations do not allow for compost toilets, so users should check with their city before going forward with purchases or design, if a building permit is required. On the other "end", there's a recent example in the UK of the larger use of compost toilets for a mainstream office building, so obviously that city has no problem with the use of compost toilets.
I am at present making compost in my back yard. It is starting to steam a bit so I assume something is working.I am not sure about a compost toilet though skip hire prices
