I'm looking for suggestions.


My wife runs a pre-school from our house. I am going to put in a sink
somewhere in the yard so the kids can wash up before going in. Here
is what I'm looking for:


1. A sink that can withstand mild weather. (I live in Southern
California so no freezing to worry about.) I was thinking maybe making
a concrete counter top with basin.
2. A faucet that shuts itself off. (Runs for about 5 minutes and shuts
off. The ones in public restrooms where you have to hold the button
down with one hand and wash the other then reverse wouldn't work for
the kids)
3. I need to build it into a sink base, so it can be leaned on etc.
The "hook to your garden hose" sinks are not what I'm looking for.
HEAVY Duty.


Any ideas would be appreciated.


Teach the kids teamwork and cooperation:

All handwashing will be done in pairs. One kid washes while the other
holds down the spring loaded faucet handle. The values instilled
during this process will stick with them for the rest of their lives.

In a perfect world, this is a really good idea. ;-)



That won't work. Girls have Cooties.


i could use a ice piece of cooties myself
