Sink in Garage
I am planning to put in a sink in my garage. Something like this:

Right now, I am researching into this and see if it is worth it.
For the faucets, I probably will tap into the supply lines from the washing machine. It is the drain part that I am wondering how to do it. Should I connect the drain of the sink to the drain where the washing machine dispose its water? Is this a lot of work?

It all depends on the elevations and where you can route the pipe. Is your washing machine inside the house and at a higher elevation? Even if the elevations don't work it's relatively inexpensive to have a small sump and pump underneath the sink to pump the water wherever you want.

Norm, Yeah, I was looking at the setup last night and was wondering how to do this.
Are you saying discharge the dirty water from the washer to the sink? Or the other way around?
If discharge the dirty water from the washer to the sink and then to the sump pump and then into the drain (currently discharged by the washing machine), can you confirm?
Thanks

Yes. that's exactly waht I'm saying. The sationary sink acts as a resivoir and then drains into the sewer line. In my set up it goes directly into the sewer. But at my son's house he must go into a sump pump (in a box that houses the pump) then pump up to the sewer line. His basement is below the street seweres as is my daughters house. Very typical.

This would be very typical set up.
