[A/S] Plans A,B, and C
This picks up where "Sew What" left off. I am going to make do with pull
down shades and not worry about curtains while I deal with the sink. I
have dreamed up a method of mounting the shades in a temporary fashion
without drilling.
For the sink I have arrived at three solutions and might just use all
three. I was able to remove the entire piece intact. The counter top
portion is in good shape while the sink is deteriorated. So here are the
options:
1. I will make the Formica counter top and install a small sink. I can
get a short section of ready to go counter at Home Depot for $40. I will
cut out the shape, install it and the trailer will be ready to use.
2. I want to first fiber glass over the bottom of the sink, it is so
fragile I am afraid to do any thing else first. Then I will make a fiber
glass mold of the whole thing. If that works I can make any number of
replicas. Also this rare part will be saved from extinction.
3. If I can get the original out of the mold in one piece I will make a
form of the sink by lining it with saran wrap and pouring it full of
plaster of paris. If I have that I can make the sink only with a half
inch extra lip. That will allow me to cut out the old sink and drop in a
replacement.
Any one have any thoughts on this? Any one need a sink and counter for
'72 rear bath?
