Default Adding water to small bar in garage conversion

Just curious, would it be feasible or recommendable to run flexable
hose of some sort through the attic to this sink from the kitchen or
someplace else in the house? I've seen this done with copper tubing
to add water behind a fridge for an ice maker, but we're looking at
going about 60 feet if we did this.


Look for PEX plumbing at your local building center. It is flexible,
it can be pulled just like you pull wire, and it is nearly very tough
stuff.

As for drainage, since this sink won't be used very much, my thought
is to drain it into the yard as we have a planter just outside where
the sink will be located.


One trick that I have seen for a low volume drain is to leave the
drain pipe cut off about a foot under the sink, then put some kind
of container under there to catch and store the drain water. For
example, an empty water jug of the type that they use for water
delivery would be ideal. Just remember to dump it every so often.
