Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.
Yo, calm down there Holmes. I’m a pro. I put gravel in there to filter out the big chunks.
No. It goes to the piss drawer.
If razors can go in the wall, why shouldn’t piss go in a drawer? I gotta do some home improvement work to make this happen.
I’m sure my landlord will appreciate the new piss drawer :D
That was pretty much my legit setup in my last rent house. I’m so so glad I finally got out of there.
What the christ dude.
It’s called fashion look it up.
I need you to design an apology to the entire human species.
Let me get my pinking shears.
Looks like you had your work cut out for you
Nah, looks like they did it themselves
DIwhy?
YOU’RE DID IT!!!
So, what’s the real story here?
Counters are installed whole like that sometimes. I can imagine that maybe the contractor’s router broke or was lost or stolen and they had to come back the next day with the router to cut the proper hole but in the meantime he just rough cut a couple holes with the buzz saw so that the homeowners can use their sink.
My guess is that they followed the manual, skipping a few steps, glued the sink before cutting, panicked and then voilà.
What is the purpose of the little tiny sink on the left?
To be a sink.
Don’t sink shame bro
I’m not shaming! Maybe it’s something important? Maybe I need a tiny little extra sink next to my sink? What have I been missing out on???
You definitely need a tiny little extra sink next to your sink.
I don’t know how I lived without one to be honest.
Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I’ve always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.
No, it’s an insinkerater - it’s got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.
I think it’s better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly
You mean a garbage disposal unit (insinkerator is just one brand). I’ve never seen those in the side sink, I’ve only had them in the main one.
Yes, garbage disposal sink! That’s what was stick on my tongue! Thanks, rando.
Dunno why we’ve only seen opposites
Some of us work hard and pay good money for a fine meal… I’m not putting that down the drain!
Yes but you don’t need separate sink for that.
It’s not a separate sink, it’s a dual-chambered sink, it’s one big sink with a raised bit in the middle
The real reason for separate sink areas is that one is for un-dirtying them (this side has the disposal usually) and the other side for rinsing
Commercial sinks are usually 3-chambered (rinse, wash, sanitize)
I hear you - I don’t know why it’s never been in the main sink. I’ve just never seen it like that…
My parents have one like it but with a sort of driptray in it so you can use it to wash fruits and vegetables, for example.
Sure, some people like them. I’ll take a bigger sink and throw a strainer in it for that sort of thing though. Redid my kitchen a few years ago and threw in an obnoxiously large and deep rectangular pit of a stainless steel sink and it’s the best damn thing I’ve done to my kitchen. It even has a seamless extension that is a flat drying rack so you cut an even gianter opening in the granite and put that part over the dishwasher.
That we can agree on. Having worked in commercial kitchens a bit I wish every kitchen could be huge and stainless steel. Might actually cook for myself if that were the case.
I had to replace my kitchen faucet and got a nice one. I installed it and was liking it until I looked at the insert that advertised some other products they had and then I wanted a whole new sink as soon as I saw a picture. Their sinks had ledges along the front and back so that you could place add-ons like strainer baskets or grills that would sit flush with the sink and could slide around. It also seemed so obvious that I can’t believe these crappy sinks are the norm.
Though I do prefer having a double sink (kinda wish I had a triple one tbh). Then you can do dishes in one and use the other to rinse instead of slowly filling the single sink more and more. Or let dishes pile up a bit in one sink without having to work around those dishes to do other things before you get to cleaning them. Plus it takes more water to fill a giant sink to the same depth as a smaller sink.
Though a bowl inside a giant sink also works. Just give me those ledges and add-ons for whatever my next sink is.
You can have one filled with water and the other freely draining for different steps of cleaning
✨exquisite✨
Perfect 👌
It’s got that rustic look to it.
Modern Meth Man approach.
The mythical meth man month
“Don’t worry about it boss, I already installed the sink myself.”
Wash your dishes and slash your wrists in one easy step
Any idea what material the countertop is made of? Looks like acrylic.
Maybe Corian.
Yea that’s my guess, or one of the cheaper brands like himacs if they are willing to fuck around with it like this haha
I’d actually love to know what kind of lightweight / cheap materials there are that hold up to at least 100°C heat?
