We figured we should start touring things we've done inside the house. Yes we are still unpacking, the garage is full of boxes as we slowly empty the storage unit, but we're getting there.
This is our garage utility sink.
It's next to the garage fridge. I found a cool metal basket/drainer that we had in storage from the old house. It fits great on here! This sink will be the perfect spot for washing veggies from the (future) garden, using the back grilling/cooking porch, cleaning pots and pans and other cooking things, etc. Having a deep utility sink like this will come in handy for sure.
The fridge is on one side and so what to put on the other side of it?
We moved our water cooler to the spot next to the sink! The great thing about this set up is that while it's close to the door from inside the house to the garage (if we need instant hot water or additional fresh water for something), it's also right NEXT to the outside door to the back yard. As I come in and out on mowing/working outside days, I can use this sink to clean up!
And here's the best part:
The five gallon water bottle fits in the sink perfectly so we can refill it! Remember, our water guy looked at our well water test results even before our whole house filter and said he would drink straight from the well without any worry. Of course, we went ahead and put in the whole house filter for a multitude of other reasons and after we did that, the installer said every faucet in the house will have Ozarka quality water coming out of it, ha.
This spot worked out perfectly. I can come in the back door on mowing days and get cold water for a break without going inside the house and then once I'm done, I can stop and wash my hands and clean up before going inside!
Win/Win!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
Now all you need is a towel holder and container of soap and a scrubby brush to get that dirt out from under your nails from working outside while playing in the dirt.
Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the week.
That is a wonderful utility sink. It is big enough for any task. And so convenient for outside use and inside. The wire basket is perfect for it - very useful for washing garden vegetables. And the water cooler is in a perfect location also. Both of y’all put so much thought and planning into everything!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your plans continuing to play out so well.
