Many city dwellers, tired of the hustle and bustle, move to the dacha during the warm season. Life there is the same, with the same household concerns and worries. But it can be alleviated, using some unsophisticated adaptations. For example, there is no way to cope if there is no kitchen sink or washbasin, but it is unreasonable to spend a lot of money on such a device for a seasonal home. Therefore, the question arises as to what type of sink is best for a dacha and whether it is possible to make a functional sink at all with one's own hands.

Sink with wooden curbstone
Its equipment usually has a sink and a heated water tank suspended above it. In the space below the sink, behind the closing door, put a bucket to collect the used liquid.
Such a car wash can be equipped with a drainage system.
Important! Water from this storage tank can be used for economic purposes, for example, for irrigation.
