How about this nice $2600 sink for your bathroom?

I think I am in the wrong line of work..
I think they should have been gold-plated--on a rusty (55 gallon drum) sub-strate (is that the right word?).
On the other hand, maybe we could get ourselves really classy looking sinks using surplus drums--but there's no storage underneath :(
With a single propane burner under the bottom it would really make one cozy hot tub. :-/
Reminds me of a hot spring we have in the eastern Sierra's. They call it the Crab Cooker. :)
Remember the Foxworthy cartoon from the first "you might be a redneck if" book--if you ever made a hot tub out of a trolling motor--with a blissed out little kid in the 55 gallon drum.
I could so do this in our hall bath!!! Hmmmmm....... I could cut an opening at the bottom for a little storage., no scratch that build a shelf of galvanized...and make a sort of counter around the back 3/4 of the drum cut so that the front 1/4 retains the circular shape and projects from the counter. Wheels turning...

There you go, Judy. :)
Sweet-T-Pie :-*! Give me $2,600 and I will furnish three bathrooms and a kitchen. It's not that I am cheap, but down here we burn our trash in those barrels.
Garsh, Nanda ---- :-[ No convincing you it's high class? :)
I thought that the idea of the mirror made with a locking ring for the drum was inspired!
No low-class person would put a--presumably beveled--mirror in the locking ring! :o It's such a sophisticated thought ::)
But I still think that a used drum would be better than new, gold plated over rust or not. With the sink part a steel drum??
Quote...down here we burn our trash in those barrels.
It's multi-functional. That's what makes it so expensive.
I think "class is in the mind of the beholder"...or something like that.
I keep forgetting to put in smileys.
