Adding an Outdoor Sink


This crazy old house had two laundry rooms in the basement when we bought it and both were in bad condition. As a result, I ended up with two of these utility sinks sitting in the garage. In a spring cleaning frenzy, I loaded the sinks into the truck with the idea of hauling them to the Restore to see if they would take them.

Then the battery on the truck was dead. So, the truck has sat loaded with junk in the driveway for a couple of days.  I spotted one of my children filling a watering can at this outdoor faucet and he was making a giant muddy mess. It dawned on me that I could really use one of those laundry sinks!  Sure enough, it works perfectly. And when my kids miss the watering can or the water gun or are just washing their hands out there, the extra water goes into the bucket below and can be used for watering my plants later.
