Cleaning all sorts of dirty things from hands to parts to a medium size dog. I probably use it every day. | |||

Invest Early, Invest Often |
Tried to get my builder to upgrade mine from the standard plastic tub to a stainless steel. Got the "no one has ever asked for one". Keep eyeing one at Costco everytime I walk by it. | |||

That is the sink we installed last year as a replacement for the builder grade sink. I see it go on sale fairly regularly. | |||

Same here. One thing I didn’t think of was putting raw meat on the grill and being able to just clean up outside. | |||

What do you mean " Tried to get my builder to upgrade mine . " ? Did he refuse to do it ? | |||

Drill Here, Drill Now |
I wish my house had one. Like others have mentioned - cleaning paint brushes, cleaning greasy hands (aka not bringing greasy hands in the house), rinsing off boots/shoes, filling sprayers, etc. Sigforumites have failed to mention - long term storage. Much like an elliptical machine or treadmill, it will attract some long term storage items.

Someone else said it: dogs. Also for washing mops, rags, other stuff. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

This is the best answer, Df is correct here. If you ever do anything DIY related outdoors or on anything you don't want to work on in your house, you'll be glad to have the sink. I'm a huge diyer and I use it almost daily. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

They call a bathroom out there a mud room. Come home from hunting, fishing, or changing oil on your car or motorcycle, sink etc is there. Mowing/landscape work, yet another useful tool to have at your disposal. I’d MUCH rather have one in the garage than the laundry room. When I build my Morton, I’m putting a full bath with shower in the garage. Looking forward to it. By the way, as a garage aficionado (it’s the most important room in the house for me), that’s a fucking kick ass garage there. Love the flooring  What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

First- Nice Garage! Don't worry about all that "whiteness", it will get dirty quick enough. I wish I had a sink in the garage! Mine is in the laundry room in the basement. It's used for cleaning almost everything outside of dishes. Filters, filthy boots, brushes, parts -car, gun, motorcycle, boat et al. Tools, super muddy clothes before they get tossed into the washing machine. I guess it also depends on how much you work on stuff. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

When I was a kid, my old mans garage had a huge double sink made of concrete in it. I would love to have one just like it. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

My friend/idiot painter used my brand new kitchen sink to clean his brushes today. Sink was easy enough to clean up the paint, but the black rubber thingy for the garbage disposal was a major pain in the ass to get the paint off of. I wanted to strangle him when I got home at 9:30 after a 12hr day and had to clean up after him. He knows I own both a slop sink and a garden hose but still chose my kitchen sink, fuck. Make your wife happy, fully utilize the slop sink and don't use the kitchen sink for anything other than dishes. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

| That rug really tied the room together.  |
I have that same "slop" sink in my laundry and I have never used that sink once in 5 years. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

We had a sink in the laundry room and never used it . After the flood we remodeled and moved the sink location to the garage . Now I use it all the time . | |||

You know that black rubbery thing takes about 10 seconds to replace . Easier than trying to clean it . My wife replaced ours because she said it was grungy . | |||

I'm glad it's in the garage. Seems I'll get a lot of use out of it there. Some houses they are in the laundry (depends on layout). The laundry is usually right off the garage also, so probably not a big deal. But definitely better in the garage. I'll make a mess out of this one and then replace with stainless. These go to eleven. | |||
