Sink Work!!

My wet plate trailer darkroom sink really takes a beating when I travel with the trailer. Yesterday I did a bunch of repair work on it. I retightened the faucet nuts as the faucet was jiggling badly. I also placed screws in a wood 2x6 under one of the legs as the tip had broken down causing the sink to lean forward and to the right. Finally I resecured the sink to the wall using straps and wire. Hopefully it will be good now for a year or so.

Note* I need to carry repair supplies and tools for the trailer so I can fix things up on the road, especially when I am up in Northern Canada making Ambrotypes. The roads are rough in parts of Canada, causing havoc inside the trailer.
