About Sinks

Regularguy asked:


The cabinet beneath my kitchen sink and disposal smells like rotting food, but I can’t pinpoint the source of the smell. Oddly, the disposal itself does NOT smell — I stick my nose down the drain and it smells OK. But if I open the cabinet doors and kneel down, the smell of rotting food is strong… but I’ve cleaned everything out of the cabinet. I have put ice cubes, lots of citrus peel and baking soda down the disposal to clear any smell, but again, the source appears beneath the sink and not the disposal from the top side. (House is 10 years old; disposal is 3 years old.) There are no visible leaks beneath the cabinet. Two hints:1) While the disposal from the top doesn’t smell; the pipe beneath the sink does; and 2) the smell is strongest when I run the dishwasher, but it comes and goes all the time. Any thoughts on what could be causing the smell or ideas to fix?

In addition to the normal drain line from my kitchen sink, there is another pipe that might be connected to the vent system. This pipe terminates in a special cap that seems to be spring loaded. Why does the venting system have an outlet under the sink?

Today when i turned on the kitchen sink i got this extremely strong smell up my nostrils. I can really only smell it when i turn the water on. It’s almost like a very strong, wine-like smell. It is not a comforting smell though so i would like to know what it is.
The drinking water comes from three wells.
And I can’t really tell if it’s the water or coming from the sink.

When I come home from work and go to refill my dog’s water bowl with cold water from the kitchen sink, the water instantly comes out warm. The water then gets hotter before it gets colder. I have not timed to see how long it takes for it to actually get cold. This only happens in my kitchen faucet, no other faucet in the house does this. It has only started to happen over the past month or so. I have spepartate hot and cold shut off valves and they are not reversed under the sink. The hot water still comes out hot. What is going on?

I’m going to try to paint some tonight, and I want to see if I can wash out the paint out of the paintbrushes in the kitchen sink.
Oh, and it’s a latex paint.

My hot water heater is in the attic and it takes several inutes for hot water to reach the kitchen faucett. I want to install a small electric hot water heater under the kitchen sink to reheat the water. Do i need to run a drain pipe outside for the pop off or just put a large pan under the heater?

I plan on using the kitchen sink for as long as possible and not buying a bath.

I’ve also planned on not buying a change table.

Have there been anythings that you’ve found cheap alternatives for?

Also has anyone just used a baby sling instead of pram until they were old enough to sit up in a normal stroller?

This is the kind of a shelf that one can sit over the top of ones kitchen sink, near the back, to sit things on.
