You can store water without a tub. We just converted our tub to a walk-in shower and love it. For storing water we will simply buy some of those 5 gallon jugs of water at the grocery store and put them in a closet or in the garage somewhere. That gives us plenty of clean drinking water, or for any purpose.

Also, we just changed out our divided kitchen sink for a single basin. It’s so much easier to wash the larger items that don’t fit in the dishwasher. And it occurred to me that if someone visits that has an infant, it would be very simple to bathe the child in that single basin in the kitchen, or insert a baby bathtub there.
