Having religiously been studying your videos trying to dial in my own plans (while getting some excellent guidance and ideas from Jody), I've noticed a surprisingly high number of kitchens that choose not to have a sink in them. If the kitchen is just off the main house or utility room, i can understand this. Or if space is at a real premium. But i see so many lovely kitchens that have chosen not to have a sink, when for me this seems really important (now that i've thought about it a lot, when at first i didn't see the need). Hand washing, general tidying up of the work area ... i'm wondering if there is a general reason for this, or if its something often overlooked and then regretted?
Appreciate any thoughts ... especially anything around drainage for when you can't connect to a real drain (does a soakaway suffice for the relatively small amount of sink water that will go down it?).
