Hello,

We're converting our garage into a family/game room, and we'd like to
add a small bar with running water for making drinks, washing hands,
etc. This new room will be a good distance from the kitchen or any
water sources in the house, plus we have a concrete foundation.

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.

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.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions ...

PEX pipe - a 3/8" 100' roll will run you about $25 or $30 bucks. PEX
can take freezing pretty damn well. The amount of water in a 3/8"
pipe won't expand enough to burst the pipe so you only have to worry
about the fittings.

Sharkbite fittings - Google 'em. You'll need to T into the existing
line and definitely install a shut off valve inside the house.

As far as the drain water, run it into a planter on the other side of
the garage wall.

Hi Everyone ...

The conern of draining gray water from the sink into the yard isn't an
issue in my area, this will be a very small amount of water mainly
from washing hands after coming indoors, drink of water, coffee maker,
etc... small items. We do have a planter outside the garage which
this sink will drain into.

As for the water source, I did run across PEX pipe, which I'm thinking
of using. I'm not sure exactly where to tie it into the house water
system, but whether from an inside source or tieing into the outside
fossett, I'll probably need to get a plumber involved. We live in
Central Texas where it freezes only a hand full of times each year,
and no freeze lasting more then a day or so. PEX pipe will probably
do the job quite well

Thanks again for the great input ..
