Where to find it?
How To Frame a Shed
To frame the new barn, Tom and the rest of the team used a combination of 2x4” stock framing lumber [https://thd.co/3oG2R2j] for the studs and 2x6” stock framing lumber [https://thd.co/3FqVnal] for the roof rafters. To secure the boards together, the team used a variety of framing nails with a nail gun. All of these items can be found at home centers and lumberyards.

C.R. O’Neill Company provided expert assistance with this segment in Lexington, MA.

How To Install a Utility Sink in a Barn
Richard installed a Utilatub Combo 20x24” Thermoplastic Floor Mount Laundry Tub [https://thd.co/3kNSmJq]. The kit comes with the water supply and drain lines required to hook up to the water supply. The utility sink kit is manufactured by MUSTEE [https://mustee.com/].

To connect the sink to Mark’s existing lines, Richard used a roll of polyethylene tubing and various fittings found at home centers and plumbing supply houses.

Due to the planned usage for the sink, Richard opted to use a dry well system rather than connect it to a drain line. He and Mark installed a 12x12” Drainage Catch Basin [https://thd.co/3cnI6mz] manufactured by NDS [https://www.ndspro.com/]. Below and around the hole, Mark filled in with crushed stone found at home centers and landscape supply stores.
