Once, it was out of order for four months and now, several years later, it's completely clogged up again. I still use the sink but I learned to use it in a different way. I removed the plumbing underneath the double sink and I put a five gallon bucket under each sink. I use a dishpan placed in one sink to wash the dishes in and I then rinse them in the other sink. The rinse water drains down into the 5 gallon bucket underneath. I empty the two buckets out as needed. I just throw the water outside as I live out in the country where I can do this. Hey, it works! I can make-do like this for an indefinite period of time. <br />To unclog the sink, I've tried baking soda with vinegar and hot water, ammonia and hot water, plain hot water and a plunger, all with no luck. Then, out came the 50 ft snake and still no luck. I just leave the snake in the drain and twist around on it at my convenience hoping that I will someday bust through the clog. If I don't succeed, I can keep on using buckets. <br />It's good to know how to make-do with what you've got and to be thankful that you've got it to make-do with! Always look at what you have and not at what you don't have.VeggieNutrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836758793949890773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331591886946739033.post-57408827153428999492013-07-01T19:33:30.063-06:002013-07-01T19:33:30.063-06:00Thanks!

We had a refrigerator and a hot plate, but no kitchen. I remember washing dishes in two basins in the shower :) TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890037981997328026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331591886946739033.post-27833377960020090632013-07-01T19:17:18.970-06:002013-07-01T19:17:18.970-06:00I find myself in the curious situation of living i...I find myself in the curious situation of living in a studio that has no kitchen what so ever, and therefor no sink to wash dishes in. I liked this post and your solution to living without a sink, even temporarily. :)Diana Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914031165662225314noreply@blogger.com
