    Do you have plumbing in your shop?

    I'd love to have a sink in the shop I'm planning, wondering if it will be worth the cost. Would be a couple hundred feet of pipe to tie into the main inlet and outlet. No plans for a toilet.

    If you have a standalone shop was it worth it?

    I had never planned to have anything but a cold water sink and a french drain but my wife kept poking at me to at least install a 1/2 bath. She won and so did I!!! Toilet, deep laundry sink w/ POP water heater. I'm sure glad I listened to her for once

    Love having a sink. Wish I would have done it sooner.

    Not yet, but will be installing a sink soon. My shop is in my garage and there is hot and cold that can be tapped off the water heater and a large 3" sewage line that can be tapped into near the water heater as well.

    I almost did, but challenges happened. Had I been able to add that on to our home addition project (and thought about it in time) I would have it.

    I don't and wish I did. Inspector said that when if we just put in a sink we would have to replace our septi. System with an aerobic one. Around 5 grand we didn't want to spend in that way

    I am in Modesto and I just plumbed the clothes washer drain outside. I can't believe in Sacramento you pay to have your gray water hauled off site. it has been three years since I watered the orange trees outside the shop.

    We lived in our shop while we built our house, so we have a full kitchen and bath-room.

    Mud type sink on one side and 1/2 bath(toilet& lavatory) on the other. Couldn't imagine going into the house or garage every time I needed to go to bathroom or wash something out or clean something or mix something ............etc.

    That's pretty much what I have. Basement shop so don't need a toilet but having a good sized laundry tub with hot & cold water can be handy. I just use a pump sold for clothes washers. That and a check valve work fine for my purposes.

    Full bathroom plus urinal, and mud sink in main shop. It gets used multiple times daily. I highly recommend.

    I think I'm going to have a sink roughed in for sure. Radiant heat sounds awesome but I'd probably only use it 4-5 days a year.
