Now that Summer is nearly here in the NE, I want to install a sink on the outdoor bar I'm building on my deck. It will be covered, but outdoors. Ideally I want to find a single bowl 15"x15"x7" deep (or similar) s/s sink w/one hole so I can connect a single gooseneck faucet with cold water only to it. I'd like to be able to attach my garden hose to the faucet, and another old garden hose to the drain, and let it drain under the deck. The usage would light...rinse the blender out, etc...

Should I go to Home Depot and try to have the plumber-guy there help me assemble this myself? Any advice on simplicty and cost savings appreciated.

I'm guessing your not interested in plumbing codes. Obviously what your about to do isn't acceptable. :)

In which case..i would go to a local hardware store, preferrable a small one for better service, and see what you can find. I can tell you right now connecting a garden hose to a drain is going to take a number of fittings. Your end result might just be duct taping the hose to the drain. :)
