hopefully they have something deeper than 21cm....that sound more like a kitchen sink, rather than a laundry sink

We struggled to find the deeper twin sinks at the DIY stores. In the end we got ours from a small stainless steel shop located in Thai Watsadu. However recently they seem to have moved or closed!

Good luck .

went to Homepro in the weekend and came out minus and arm and a leg, after purchasing twin tubs,,,well they are really more stainless kitchen sinks, but ordered them alittle deeper than normal..they had a great single deep laundry type tub on stainless legs, but not two together without the legs..told them to get the supplier to start making twin deep tubs and we would all be in...

spoken like a true man who has never drop beetroot on his T shirt, or grease on his shorts, or had rugby boots to wash...
yes it is 1940 around my house. My lot have never owned a car, an oven, a washing machine, a motor mower, or a vaccum cleaner..Indeed, they only started sleeping in beds 3yrs ago..I have built a rather modern home with an ample kitchen and bathroom, but my missus still prefers to wash the dishes, and wash the laundry in and army of plastic buckets , outside under a garden tap. Her and the boy also bathe themselves in the same manner, even though I have provided a bathroom to rival any in House & Garden..but here they are camped around a brass tap, with all their shampoo's and tooth brushes, mossies and dogs..I shake my head..but none the less, my missus is Mrs Clean, indeed , she mops our floor three times a day, remakes the bed after I have made it, demands to cut my toe nails, and even takes the hair out of my comb which is deep down in my toilet bag...so if she wants stainless sinks rather than a washing machine, so she doesnt has to sit on a plastic stool, then I get it for her , 40's or not...

No worries there Bonanza. Sometimes the words flow, sometimes not.

I was talking to my missus across the pillow the other night, about this thread, and our new sinks..
she giggled and said I should have said too, that the biggest change in her life of late, is the new thermo wave type cooker she purchased while I was in foreign parts..its her pride and joy.

Oh to live in a country where ones lofty standing in the local community is risen by the mere ownership of a new stainless cooker..furthermore, she pointed out, across the pillow, that before in days gone by, she had to cook the chicken outside over a fire and with charcoal, and that her fingers would be black, and her hair would smell foul, of cooked foul, and she would have to sit there for hours turning the bird over and over..Now it is plug in and away, to the gentle hum of a UFO cooker..

Me I am an ex bushman, and therefore can relate to her tale, as I too use to cook a whole chicken over a stainless steel sink with an open fire placed inside it, sometimes in the rain with my swannie and bush hat on...Perhaps others have not experienced a simple life without power, without mod cons, I do not know, but I do know that washing machines and electrical mods cons are only good if you have power..To be honest. My missus has been washing clothes, including her mama and papas clothes in plastic buckets for 30yrs. She is quicker than a machine, and the final result is also better than a machine, including her white Fleet Admiral uniform, but one day we will get one..you dont want to spoil them you know, or they get ideas...
