This photo was in a local CraigsList ad for an R-Pod.  I thought some of you might be interested in how a shower sink can be installed.  Not very pretty, but to each his own.

I'm confused ... were there Pods built without a sink in the wet bath?

Sinks were not available in the earlier pods, including mine.  There have been severaal posts from owners that have sinks and wish they didn't because they do take up valuable space in an already small shower area.  Just a matter of personal preference.  They are a standard feature of all the newer pods.

The faucet in my sink has the shower connection facing down into the sink. This is terrible. Any one exchange it for a diverter with the connection at the top? Where did you get it? What was its part number, and did you have to make mods to make it fit?

The sink wasn't added until the 2011 models I believe.  My 2010 (built in 2009) doesn't have it and I'm happy about that.  If I bought a new pod that would be one of my very first podmods, pulling it out.

If you took it out what material would you use to fill in the holes?

I'd use caulk.  Either white or clear depending on which would blend in better.

We like the sink and prefer not to wash hands in the kitchen sink.  Just a matter of preference.  It really doesn't take up that much space.  And the faucet in ours works fine even with the shower coming out of the bottom.

I did look under the sink, and the hole is quite large.  From the "free-style" cut and the jagged edges it looks to me like an assembler took a sawzall and chopped most of the paneling away under the sink to make room for the trap and other plumbing.  It would take a chunk of something to patch over the top of the paneling and then be calked over.  Not impossible but some care would have to be taken to make it look good.
