Putting in a kitchenette

[mickyc]

I have a kitchenette in my basement. I just have a row of4 large bottom cupboards and 2 drawers on top of that. I then have my microwave and dishes on a shelf above. I have a bar fridge that sits on my counter. I do have a sink though a bit off to the side with another cupboard underneath it. I don't know if I would want to go through all the work of dumping water. There is a plumbing type thing that we had to install in order to put the sink in though. The sink drains into a small tank that has a pump in it. When it gets full it pumps the water up into the other pipes. I think it cost around $500 at Menards (in the US) but well worth it. My dad is a plumber so he installed it for nothing. They also make a similar type thing for toilets now - there have been a lot of commercials on TV lately promoting it.

As far as cooking I use an electric frying pan and a 2 burner hot plate. If I need to bake something I just run upstairs and put it in the oven up there.
