1) just because you have two sinks does not mean that if one overflows the water will go into the other one.
2) the little drain in the bottom of the grinder can and will clog up if you don't check and keep it clear.
3) time flies when your grinding pretty rocks, and
4) my kitchen floor needed a good mopping anyway.
So I fired up my new old GP-6 just to do some pre-forming on a piece of poppy jasper and that hunk of picture jasper I got last weekend. I put a little $5 fountain pump in one sink and stoppered it up, ran the output tube to the irrigation system for the grinder, put an old milk carton under the drain tube and away I went.
I figured I didn't want the fountain pump to run the sink dry so I left water running into it, about a half hour later between all the noise from the grinder and the total attention I was paying the rocks, I missed the fact that my sink had been overflowing for some time onto the hardwood floor, and what's more the milk carton wasn't even getting full, so the grinder was starting to piss on the floor too.
OK so this weekend its all getting set up on a bench in the basement, I've got to quit being so hard on my kitchen.
