3 Big Reasons To Rent A Portable Toilet For Your Remodeling Project
Do you have a home remodeling project coming up soon? Do you think that you have everything lined up and ready to go for the start of the project? If you're like a lot of people, you may have forgotten about one very important aspect: the toilet situation. A lot of people completely forget about or overlook the fact that it's possible to rent a portable toilet for such a project. If you're unsure as to why you'd even want to think about getting one, there are a number of reasons to seriously consider doing so. Some of the biggest reasons include:
Efficiency: All of your workers will need to relieve themselves at one point or another during the construction process. This is something that you can't exactly control. What you can control is whether they will spend fifteen minutes or more going to the nearest available public toilet or if any portable toilets will be available that they can use instantly. While an extra fifteen minutes might not sound like a lot, consider that this will add up quickly. Fifteen minutes per worker, several times a day, over the entire course of the project amounts to many additional hours being added to finish the project.
Hygiene: Even if you're planning to allow the workers to use the bathroom or bathrooms that already exist in the home that's being remodeled, this may not be the solution that you think it is. At some point during the remodeling process, the water will have to be turned off in order to install kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Once the bathroom or bathrooms are out of commission, you're back to the problem of not having a bathroom at all. Without any portable toilets on site, desperate workers may then choose to relieve themselves in a secluded corner of your yard rather than be forced to abandon what they're doing until they can return from the nearest gas station or fast food place.
Money: In general, workers who have their needs met will work better and do a better job than workers who are forced to endure less than ideal working conditions. While you might be trying to save money by not renting any portable toilets, this strategy might cost you more money in the long run. Consider a worker who is distracted by his or her need to use a restroom. He or she might make a mistake while mixing concrete or doing some other task. It might not be immediately visible that a mistake has been made, but after a year or two, you may have to have that section repaired or replaced due to it wearing out faster than the rest of the project.
