Hey All,
I am building a concrete block shed with an outdoor (roofed with bifold doors in front) kitchen. I want to have there gas bbq, small gas hob, both connected to the same gas bottle, and a little sink. That way i can spend more time outside and cook there. I would use sink to wash hands etc, so water wouldn't be very dirty but may contain some grease etc from cooking. Problem here is that the shed is probably around 0.5 meters lower than the house and more than 20 meters away. So feel like running the waste pipe back would be problematic and a bit of overkill for what i need it for. Septic tank would be difficult as i only have about 1m of space behing the shed. I am considering so far the following options - Small grey water pump, although i heard these are not too good, and run the waste pipe to the sewer behind the house uphill. Small DIY septic tank under the sink made from barell (unsure how to build it yet) and overflow to small soakaway behind a shed, or small DIY filter under the sink and soakaway. Again unsure how to build one. Anyone tried something like that before or have any other suggestions?
