Ever since we started planning our garage/rock room I knew I would need a sink. We didn't want a mess like I have now so this is what we came up with. Old area  New area right outside my rock room.   Since I can't wash slurry down the drain there was no point in putting it inside. We attached a hose to the drain so that the water goes into the yard. Right now the hose is too short but I will get a longer one. When I'm done I can put any buckets inside and close it up. Andrea |

Nice, but that would only work for about five months in Michigan. Lucky you being able to wash rocks outside year round,

I forgot to show you my hot water heater for when I need to wash oily slabs in hot soapy water.....lol. Notice the hummingbird watching me through the window.  He's noticing me getting closer.  |

I'd make sure that drain discharge gets to an area underground or where there is no foot traffic. You don't want to track grit or rock ***t onto the family dining room carpet (at least my spouse wouldn't allow it). I collect such drain water in a bucket and it gets poured onto the most needy plant at hand.
