Lambing Kitchen

[Aliboy556]

Hi
Looking for ideas to make a lambing kitchen sink area
Plan is to make it portable so easily moved out the shed after lambing
Has anyone seen anything simmiler and have photos of them

Easiest thing would be to pick something like this up from a local auction. Doesn’t need to have a double sink.

I've exactly that, single bowl version, a 15l water heater under it, and warm towel rack above

Exactly this and I'd fit a oversink water heater on the back board, the type that has a built in tank.

we have a Redring 10lt one and it runs fine off a 13amp plug, if it wears out, just swap it out.

Set the temperature just right so when you add milk or colostrum powder, the end mix is just the right temperature.

Exactly this. If you use an undersink i.e pressurized one itll run way quicker.

you can get gas water heaters if you are short of electric

May not be very safe with straw / hay around

Got this done last year I know it’s not mobile as the OP was asking about. Gas heater, the bottle is outside of the shed other side of concrete panel. Difference is night and day compared to kettle and hose pipe outside for washing things

I’ve a cheap hand sink bolted to a wall with a Redring 10L heater over it. Keep meaning to put it through an old kitchen mixer tap, but not got round to it.

Fella in our discussion group has a tap heater (Chinese rip off of a Quooker tap) bought off Amazon for about £80, which works very well and easy to adjust the temperature.
I have a feeling it would be cheaper to run than keeping a 10L tank of water up to temperature constantly.

Proper job

I salvaged a worktop and sink along with the cupboards that go underneath from the mother in laws skip.

To get the while thing to hold together I screwed it down to a pallet which means that if I wanted to I could undo the water and lift the whole thing out easy enough.

Need to sort the hot water out next!!
