I have one of these in my studio - it was put in by the previous owner who raised show dogs and bathed them in this tub - it is the best! (especially since there is a small hot water heater underneath - a blessing on cold mornings when you want to throw!) Both the sink and floor drain are connected to a separate disposal system - keeps it out of our septic. Nita

Something you wish you thought of when setting up or that you did think of and turned out great. Something you did that didn't work like you thought. This will most likely be my last chance to build exactly what I want and I have about a month before the foundation will be poured (the only part we are hiring out).

Right now I'm so overwhelmed that I can't think of anything except the fun of framing insulating and wiring a building, yahoo. No detail too small!! thanks in advance : ) chris

My bath tub sink also has a hand held shower thing - so I can reach any part of the
tub, and it is long enough to reach my wheel area - good for quick hose down of the
floor. I really agree with comments about electrical outlets - just be sure you
have the power to back it up. I can't have hot water and air conditioning at the
same time. I'd like to know what crazy person decided to put the entire (at the
time it was a kennel) building on the same circuit breaker as the master bedroom
and bath - can't use a space heater in the bath unless the hot water heater is off
in the studio. Had a group of students and parents over to pitfire and make nature
tiles last weekend - suddenly we were in complete darkness because I forgot to turn
off the hot water heater before one of the parents turned on the AC. Rather
embarrassing...

If you don't have room for a bath tub, put in a utility sink,
but don't use the usual faucet they sell with them. Get an
oversized tall faucet that will give more clearance. I can
easily fit a 5 gallon bucket in mine....

I have a laundry tub with a 14"length of pipe instead of a regular faucet.
I put a curved section of pipe at the top with an outdoor type bib
attached. I can attach a hose easily, plus it gives me plenty of room for
washing up large things.
