    So the other day, the wife says to me "how difficult would it be to put one of those utility sinks in the storage/furnace room? Because I'm really tired of working around your crap in the laundry room"

    What I heard was "Honey, why don't you build yourself a fish room in the basement?"



    Bwahahaa

    Does this mean you don't ever need to leave the basement now?

    So I bought the a 2-tub utility sink at Menards during their 11% off sale, as well as a faucet and the necessary plumbing components, some PEX tubing, push connectors, and the company that made my PEX distribution system was kind enough to mail me, free of charge, the connectors I needed to "plug in" to the system. So step 1 is good to go, as long as I can find the time to actually do it.

    Step 2: build support rack for a couple of 40Bs. At least one will be needed to QT a fish anyways.
