I'm really leary of totally disabling the only bathroom in the house
for more than a day, and as we know, EVERYTHING takes more than a day


Couple solutions:
Get an "elderly user" portable toilet. It's like a cross between a
walker and a toilet. essentially a toilet seat with a support frame
surround and a bucket which can be removed when in need of emptying.
(Used essentially the same way as a chamber pot when they can't get
from the bed to toilet quickly)

Or, you could take a hint from your cat.
Get a contractor bucket, and a bag of kitty litter. Use the bucket as
needed, and cover with kitty litter. If your squeamish, throw the
whole thing out when you are finished with the job.

Or, Make everyone use it before the iron is removed, and plan on going
out for lunch/dinner.

I'd try to arrange for liquids to be bottled and/or disposed of
outside. (if you have a drain in the basment floor connected to the
sewage system, you could empty things there if outside isn't private
enough.) (Don't empty the kitty litter into the sewage)

Just a few thoughts.
