SPOON: a sink that DRAINS

[kellan_the_tabby]

[ An empty, mostly clean stainless steel sink basin. There’s a drain strainer at the bottom, and a tiny bit of white plumbing pipe is visible below. ]

Okay, it took a while.

… okay, it took years.

But! I finally went back to the local plumbing supply place, bought the things I needed with some assistance from the lady behind the counter …

… & then, on a day when I had the spoons to do the thing AND Morgyn had the spoons to get the dish tubs out of the sink, I actually got it done.

We have a sink. That DRAINS.

[ Below the sink, horizontal white piping leads down from each sink basin and meets in the middle, from which more pipe angles downward and to the left. Soapy water is gushing from the bottom into a clear, square bin. There is no water anywhere it isn’t supposed to be. ]

Morgyn spent probably ten minutes pouring water into each sink basin, in turn, & then we’d watch it pour into the bin, & cackle.

SO GOOD

It's the little things you don't notice until you don't have them, and when you get them back it's so good!

I'm in the middle of that with no hot water in the shower.

BTW is the catchment bin the final set up, or are you planning on adding more plumbing to that so the water goes elsewhere (like a big outside grey-water tank)?

Chinese grocery stores, and the housewares sections of stores that cater to lower-income people, often sell "sink drain strainers" that sit inside the sink opening. The one I bought has a ring on the side to make it easy to remove and toss the food scraps into the trash. I think it cost me $1.99
