Nope, going to let it weather naturally. It's treated wood so it doesn't need to be sealed.

Utilities hook up: B+ (points off for a garden hose feeding it, but big points for the underground service)
Sink: A
Counter: C (I don't agree with your choice of wood/tile/Formica but B+ for good reuse of old stuff)
Rigging: B (the wood extension looks decent and sturdy)
Functionality: A (Looks like it will do it's job well)
Roof: A (Looks good)
Velcro Use: A


WAIT!! I just saw the wires up the post. Exposed wires?!?!? F!!


Extra credit: Soap and paper towel dispenser (filled with bio degradable stuff so it won't kill the grass and you can just throw the towels in the garden for decomp/fertilizer)

By the way, where does it drain? I see the black hose, but where's it going?

I think I would paint it too. Everything else is (including the garden).

Garden hose doesn't feed it. Technically it is a washing machine hose.

It drains right next to the thing in another garden. There's about 8 feet of hose. It's downhill and not under my feet. If I get tired of dealing with the grass under there I MAY put pavers down next year, and at that time the hose would be buried in the paving/leveling rocks and stuff. But still draining into the garden.

Good idea on the green soap...... I will have to think about that.

Interesting side note... there used to be another house in my side lot, it was already gone before I bought the place. But there is still some sort of underground pipe right there in the area. It is kind of far from where the house was to be a septic system, but I don't know what else it would be. I have a 6" piece of PVC coming straight up out of the ground (I put a cap on it when I moved in), and it goes down at least 4 feet. I didn't smell any sewage at the time.

Anyway, if I wanted to I could drain into there. I just don't know where it goes.

Good idea on the pavers. You should do that. So, project status updated to NOT completed yet. :-)

Eh, that's a new project. I have so many disparate gardens in that area that I was thinking of putting pavers in between them all so I could eliminate a mowing headache.
