Everything Including the Kitchen Sink

I was recently in Chicago for a few days, visiting my mom. When I came home, this was in my backyard. Some friends salvaged this great double bowl, cast iron kitchen sink for us from some relatives who were remodeling their kitchen. They thought maybe we could use it in the cabin kitchen. I was excited about that and stashed it in my garage, imagining we would use it some time in the future. Ray had other ideas. This set-up will sit outside the camp kitchen, also known as "Chow House." It can be used for hand washing, dish washing, fish cleaning, etc. The water sits on the shelf above the sink and has a nozzle that can be turned on. The water drains out of the sink normally, but rather than going into a pipe, it just drains into a 5 gallon bucket underneath. When the bucket fills up, it just gets emptied. All the lumber for the project came from discarded pallets that we didn't use for the wetland walkway. The rough edges on the "countertop" were lovingly hand-planed and polyurethaned by Ray. When the cabin is built, it may not have actual plumbing in its first incarnation. I imagine this kitchen set-up may end up being moved indoors one day, or we may create something similar for the real kitchen. Just because there is no plumbing, doesn't necessarily mean there isn't running water!
