    Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.

        If razors can go in the wall, why shouldn’t piss go in a drawer? I gotta do some home improvement work to make this happen.

        I’m sure my landlord will appreciate the new piss drawer :D

    Apparently, the workers installed the countertop on top of the sink when the owner was not at home, and the wife signed the documents accepting the work.
    The dude had to cut holes with improvised tools.

    This is my version of what happened.

    source
    • WesJr@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m thinking the workers drilled a couple of holes themselves while they were there. Just not in the countertop.

    So, what’s the real story here?

    source
    • pigup@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Counters are installed whole like that sometimes. I can imagine that maybe the contractor’s router broke or was lost or stolen and they had to come back the next day with the router to cut the proper hole but in the meantime he just rough cut a couple holes with the buzz saw so that the homeowners can use their sink.

      source
  • BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    My guess is that they followed the manual, skipping a few steps, glued the sink before cutting, panicked and then voilà.

        They’re not common in the UK.

        The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.

        source
      • MrJameGumb@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Is that common in newer homes? Is it a regional thing? I’ve only ever seen garbage disposals installed in the regular sink drain, I’ve never seen one that had it’s own dedicated little sink like that!

      Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I’ve always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.

      source
      • flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        No, it’s an insinkerater - it’s got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.

        I think it’s better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly

        My parents have one like it but with a sort of driptray in it so you can use it to wash fruits and vegetables, for example.

      Rinsing sink, for kitchens with limited counter space. My kitchen is small and has one of these. It's just wide enough [for one of these.(https://a.co/d/a5MGpzI)

        Ah yes the ol I have limited space so I will divide it in half. Do you by chance operate my company’s budget? No money for raises but if we split it between hiring, decommissioning, and training we can make money from nothing.

      This one has a garbage disposal unit. But often people with large kitchens have these little sinks on the other side of the kitchen next to the coffee maker.

    I’m more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural rock, it could still set you back thousands of euros. At that budget you’d think you’d have the budget for a better sink solution.

    source
    • Death_Equity@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Looks like corian, so plastic. So long as those cuts don’t extend past the basin, it can be fixed with a router and a couple bits. If they do extend past the basin, probably bottom right, then you could fix it with resin and make it pass anything but a close inspection with some skill.

      It might be the type of basin that drops in from the top, which would be easier to fix and would be more likely to hide the bad cuts under the flange.

      source
      • wick@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Repairs on marbled Corian can be pretty hard to match cleanly, so hopefully it isn’t that. Whenever I’ve installed these we always cut the sinks out at the factory, but I guess you could use a router onsite 🤷

        They why bit is, in my opinion, because the sink is meant to be dropped into the hole in the counter top to help keep moisture away from the underside.
