Hi! I live in Georgia. Cottage food laws here state that cottage food businesses shouldn't have commercial equipment in the home for baking. I found a beverage refrigerator on Craigslist that is being removed from a dollar store that would be helpful storing cakes. It plugs into a standard wall outlet but I'm wondering if this would be prohibited? Or would it be okay since it isn't for baking? 

I also found a great 3-well sink from a restaurant that I would love so I could have lots of room to wash dishes. I have a little corner of my air conditioned garage that I use for caking and it would work great in there. But again, would a big sink be prohibited as well? I just use my standard wall double ovens in my kitchen but I'm wondering if I'm not allowed to have a beverage fridge or the big sink. 

Any thoughts on this? Thank you so much!

I would call your local inspector and ask.  It really doesn't seem like it should be a problem, but who knows.

sandra gave the best advice — second to that is do it first and ask forgiveness later — do they do home inspections in ga?

and a lot of this minutia is determined on the whim of the person you ask — so it’s a toughy — idk

but the fridge should be ok — the sink idk — if it was me and I already had plumbing out there and there’s no home inspections i’d do it without asking —  if you don’t have plumbing out there, i’d ask — you’d have to pull permits anyway — if they have inspections, i’d ask in advance

wish you the best though

I doubt the sink would be acceptable but my guess is the same as K8’s regarding the frig
