craigslist for the stove, it will sell if it is in good working order and clean. utility sink in laundry will come in handy, you were going to replace it rather than just take it out? It is amazing how much you will use one. If you leave it there, I think you will be glad you did! this house did not have one when we moved in, and one of the first things we did was install a new one. where else would we clean our muddy boots, rinse paint brushes, dye rugs and pillow cases or do tie dying, wash the dog, wash out the fish bowls, scrub flower pots........you get the idea. best wishes!

We are building and have the laundry room already plumbed and drywalled. I found a vintage farmhouse sink with drain board that is 5 ft long. The wall is 8 ft long. Should I put the washer and dryer on diff walls from each other? If you imagine looking down on the room as a box, the top wall has a window, the right wall has a window, the bottom wall has the door, and the left wall is where the washer dryer and sink was going to go. Now what can I do if I want this sink? Thanks!

Look on eBay, but don't just look for a "utility sink." Look for a "farm sink" too, because often those are single-bowl wall-mount sinks like what you're describing. Do a search on antique farm sink, then another on vintage farm sink, and so on. You will have to craft your search to leave out the bad hits--for instance, write -faucet (minus symbol plus the word faucet, no space between them) to prevent faucets from coming up in response to your search, and so on. As of now, a search on "antique utility sink" (no quotes) brought up one sink that might fit the bill: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vintage-American-Standard-Utility-Sink-Slop-Sink-1960s-/230685429544?pt=Architectural_Garden&hash=item35b5ec4f28 And "antique farm sink" brought up a bunch of sinks, most of which have at least one drainboard, like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Kohler-Porcelain-Farm-Kitchen-Sink-1930s-/250876792979?pt=Architectural_Garden&hash=item3a696c1093

Hi Marcolo, I kind of jumped the gun on this sink. Both sides have atypical drains. The right side is the bar-sink-sized drain and the left is a six-inch oversized affair. I've since seen several sinks with this basic configuration, but a normal kitchen drain in one basin that would accommodate a disposer. I wasn't planning on a disposer anyway. I don't use mine currently and I hope to compost more when (if) we ever get moved. As for code, it wasn't a problem. I hear some cities have inspectors who live to exhibit their familiarity with arcane prohibitions, but we're building in a small town and I think the inspector is pretty thoroughly flummoxed by our house in general. Oh, and I thought that if I should decide down the road to install a disposal, I could just put it in the 24-inch Shaw sink in the island. My face is burning as I confess that just yesterday I made a discovery. We finally have water(!)and I was thrilled to actually turn on the fancy faucets I've been fondling for so long. I rinsed some sand out of a waste basket and lo and behold it highlighted a fine webbing of crazing in the bottom of my Shaw's. I'll confess that I thought you'd gone ever so slightly off the deep end about these sinks, but I'm being forced to reassess.
