Just make the transition and go out through or under the shop and run whatever hose length you need to a low spot and you have yourself a draining shop sink. I kept thinking that I want a drain to the septic tank (that will happen later so I can have a stool in the shop... I may opt for a urinal just for piss and giggles) and I wanted to do a permanent drain setup. This will be fine for the time being and I have the use of water. Right now it is well water, but I plan on tapping into the domestic home water so I have softened clean water. I may even hook a RO so I can have nice clean water to make wine..... But we won't mention the to the wife until the time is right.

:)This is to give many the idea of what a rural scrapping life is like. Noticed all the posts are clean, some work areas are more organized than others. Sinks and bathrooms seem to be on the priority list for some. Concern for dust and conversations about paper towels or rags are the other priorities for some. For the type of scrapping I do it requires four distinct areas. This includes an escrap area, repair area, ferrous, and non-ferrous areas. The priorities in this line are not the same as any of the other priorities mentioned. Pictures of each will be posted separately.

For the non-ferrous I work in a shed that is 30 yds x 60 yds. It has three walls, roof, no insulation, and no heat. Electricity is provided by a generator. It blocks the wind and is used when the temperature drops below 10 degrees. This is a picture of the processing area. This is located in the center with the gaylords surrounding the outside ring. The goal is to be able to operate the skidsteer in the entire area. Storage is provided by the gaylords or the process pile in the middle. As far as dust, shoveling the dirt and mud out is a yearly project. Of course that is done with the skidsteer.

A problem with the computer prevents me from showing the entire area. This will be worked on to show more pictures. In the front is an oil barrel that is filed with concrete and has a farmers vice and a pipe vice attached. The horse shoes you see are my work stool with a tractor seat on top. To the right of this is another barrel and set of vices. All three home made, but the ideas borrowed from others. The wire reel in the back is to store things that I want to break down, but do not want to invest the time and do not want to loose in the pile in the middle.

Please understand this is a one man operation. The bathroom is huge, thousands of trees. Washing hands is a jug of water, baby wipes, orange goo, or learning to each a sandwich using a napkin.

I liked the 2 "helpers" with tails. Great photos. It reminded me of the thread of you scraping the irrigation pipe. Thanks for all the picture stories. 73, Mike

This has got to be the best thread I've had the pleasure to start in a while. I get ideas from you guys and run with it. I have a couple pictures to put up later.

I stumbled on this post, and I was very disappointed to see that most of the pictures do not display. Looks like Photo Bucket updated their terms of use I might take some pictures of my setup to share. I wonder if any of the posters would be willing to add historical pictures for future reference.
