Can You Drain a Sink into a Toilet Vent? Bathrooms typically have several plumbing fixtures, and it is costly to run individual drain lines from every fixture to the main sewer line of a home. That’s the reason why plumbers connect drains lines in the floor under the bathrooms and install a common vent, which allows waste and water to drain without forming an airlock. The toilet has the largest drainpipe, so the sink drain, which is smaller in diameter, will empty into the toilet drain line. A sink drain is a device that holds water from the tap and can also drain or empty of the unwanted fluid. A toilet vent is a device that helps to take out...

A good camping lantern is an outdoor essential. It’s a major help while cooking, is great for nightly camp games, and sets just the right outdoor ambiance. Sure, you could just use a flashlight or headlamp, but a lantern lights up the entire camp and makes two-handed tasks easier. While there isn’t a single best camping lantern for everyone, we sure looked for one, and have tested armfuls of lanterns across many camping seasons to pull together a list of the most worthy light sources to bring on your next wilderness outing. During our testing, we charged up, gassed up, and lit up our campsites with lanterns — paying special mind to a number of different factors: light output, power...

Ever since we featured Inness in upstate New York (see: A Rustic, Design-Minded Retreat (with British Standard Kitchens)), I’ve returned to one singular design detail: pull-across window coverings that are effortless and ethereal in all their simplicity. Now I’m eager to replicate the look in my own place. With two hooks, a swath of fabric (wide enough to stretch across the window with a little elegant draping), and two curtain rings, you too can try it. Have a look: Photography by Adrian Gaut, courtesy of Inness. The Inspiration Above: One of many restful lodgings at Inness. The window coverings caught my eye: In lieu of drapes on both sides, simple linens hang casually from a hook on one side of the...
