    and a small sink we found at our favorite thrift store a couple of years ago.

    My outdoor sink stand. It needs the wood for the work area to the left of the sink, a shelf under that on the left, fixtures to connect it to the faucet and some hose to let the water drain off into a flower bed a few feet left away.
    He is going to put a short board behind the sink faucet so I can attach a soap dish and towel holder. The wood pieces will be painted a dark green.

    I am sooooo looking forward to using this, it is going to be so handy. Isn't he just the sweetest!!!!

    I thought you were talking about taking showers in your back yard. I thought your neighbors are all going to be looking over the fence!

    That is some project, Toni. You deserve it don't you. ;)

    I can't help but notice that toll plant behind the structure. What is that?

    The work sink is almost finished, I just have a little edge painting to do but we just couldn't wait to show it off. Sink we found the sink two-three years ago, I also found the soap dish and towel holder that are on the board above the sink.
    For now the sink drains into the bucket and that can be used to water potted plants.
