Mac26X "bathroom" sink
Mac26X "bathroom" sink
I'm curious...does anyone use the sink in the Mac26X bathroom?
I find that mine just takes up space that could better be used to give some leg room when using the potty.
I'm thinking of tearing mine out but I don't want to hurt my resale value if
the sink is a selling point.
Comments. please.

The bathroom sink is definately redundant. I would be reluctant to tear it out though. The storage underneath it is handy and the sink can be used to toss stuff into for temporary storage till it can get stowed.
I feel removing the sink would have a negative impact on resale value. A Mac is a big purchase. Buyers are aware of the layout. I am a recent buyer and looked at several Macs before purchasing mine. I dimissed one because I didn't like the Mods done on it.

The X has a bathroom sink? Are you talkingabout that little storage bowl in the head?
I've been considering tearing mine out for some time. Will it hurt resale?...Who knows, but I think if you just cut it out and that's it, it'll be an eye sore that will hurt resale for sure. BUT if you build in something nice, like a small but much improved place to store things, then that could help quite a bit. As soon as I have time and figure what I want to do with the hole, I'll cut mine out.

Now if you can do for this little corner what you did for the galley, it would improve resale value!dclark wrote:The X has a bathroom sink? Are you talkingabout that little storage bowl in the head?

Wait, Wait!! I have no where near the talent to do this. Dave Clark is the master of this mod!
It is the best galley mod I've ever seen.

EwwwwAnd as someone on the 26X-list said, you could always use it as a urinal, if trying to stretch Porta-Potti capacity.
