sinking feeling
many sleepless nights have been spent thinking about a sink vanity for the off-grid wimberley project. our recent camping trip had us talking about the teardrop trailer I had once built from the axle up, and that reminded me of the camping hand pump fixture and potable water tanks used for those. I made some measurments and built the vanity at home using a few RV supply parts and scrap metal.
the granite counter top was salvaged (free via craigslist) from a home remodel over by mount bonnell. I cut it to size by turning my tile saw upside down and dragging it across the stone while using a water hose to keep the blade wet.
clean water for washing hands, brushing teeth etc. we still have to haul our own water in. the cabinet has a telescoping filler on the front that fills a 10 gallon tank inside the cabinet. I'll soon make a trip down to tile the bathroom and make it all pretty, but the mechanicals part of the project are getting knocked off the punch list. I'll also need to make an access panel for the battery and 12v fuse box to get that whole mess cleaned up as well.
