How to Make a Toilet Tank Sink
We have previously covered commercially available toilets equipped with a toilet tank sink as one small space living solution. Well, apparently one enterprising home owner, Greg Neely, figured out how to build his own and he’s written a series of instructions.
The great thing is that this approach can be used with a variety of commercially available toilets. In particular, I like his approach because he uses easily available tools and recycled materials (which can later be reused again).
Greg’s instructions can be found over on Instructables.com.
Demonstration of the Sink:
(Before you freak out, he doesn’t actually use the toilet.)

That’s easy if you live on a floating home, just drop it over the side of your deck. It’ll fill up and be on the bottom in seconds.
Ah, different meaning of “make” then adjective phrase followed by noun, not noun phrase then verb. Actually, when I saw the title I thought you’d had another disaster like the ballistic toilet tank lid with visions of the thing disappearing through the floor.
Yet another difference between British and American English: here we’d call it a cistern, not a tank.
This kind of toilet is ubiquitous here in Japan. It is such a great way to save water, everyone should have them, small house or not.
Dbox, it’s a pretty outside the current comfort zone for a lot of people in the U.S. But a great idea. Especially considering most homes aren’t using low-flow toilets over here yet.
Of course, I’m firmly convinced that Japanese toilets should come with a user manual.
Some of the ones I saw had a staggering number of features.
Ah, the cursed British/American English thing. Catches me all the time with Charlie and he’s been in the states for over a decade. (And let me tell you a drawl on top of an English accent sounds weird to people from both cultures.)
