Like so many things in life, if things appear to be “too good to be true” they most likely are too good to be true. The other day I walked into a bathroom at an inspection and saw this VERY cool sink that looked to be brand new. Everything about this sink said “old,” and yet it looked very nice. As a home inspector my “paint-dar” was immediately activated. In this case my paint-dar was spot on----as closer examination revealed the beginning of peeling paint around the drain. But, back to the cool sink----I had never seen a sink quite like this one. While Steve Smith would claim that I am older than this sink, I still had never seen one----perhaps he has. After a little Internet research I found a picture of one that was called a “schoolhouse sink” and the multiple faucets sort of make that description make sense. Certainly some sort of “communal” application seems likely. Since I know Steve went to school in a “one-room school house”----chances are he has seen one----of course that school had a “four-holer” too. I did see a sink in a public bathroom once that had this communal approach----but that one was not painted. It appeared to be made out of concrete. Charles Buell
