True DIY walkthrough, one of the best Ive seen and it was in captions and I understood every step

[nikoman]

very clear explanation. thank you so much! Those brackets to attach cabinet to the wall don't look very strong.Seems like the design doesn't secure from accidental kick from the bottom. What is your opinion on it? Thanks

[peterdosa]

Awesome tutorial..you didn't use the teflon tape, is it a must or should it be just all right without it?

[kryptoniteee]

I’m surprised this channel isn’t bigger. Did you miss the Covid surge?

Absolutely awesome video will be installing a 1 meter similar sink to this very soon, has the same wall fixings honestly thought they didnt look strong enough so got some extra wall brackets and may end up buying the legs as im very nervous it will hold up, one thing i noticed which im unsure on is you never attached the sink with silicone or some sort of adhesive to the vanity unit only to the tiles behind ?? The user manual i have has somthing about sticking the stink down any recommendations for that ?

Thanks alot video was awesome

Hi, sorry new to diy, so maybe a daft question . Before you drilled for holes, you did not check for wall studs to ensure that holes are aligning with wall studs . Thanks

Hi Craig, I remember seeing you in big brother all them years ago! I’ve just recently bought a 800mm vanity unit. I have two questions, what height should they usually be off the floor? Also it will be going on a stud wall. I’m ok with fitting things, but my question is if it doesn’t line up with the beams will I need to cut out the plaster board and add a cls in the timber where it would be getting fitted onto?

[dappa]

Are the brackets screwed through the tile to ply ? is ply behind the tiles needed ?

[rokhsana]

Hello, how easy would these be to remove, are the brackets easy to access when the sink is attached?

[FrankieGclark]

Thanks! Is it normal to creek after installing? Used butterfly plugs but still worried it’ll fall down

[aberba]

How high does the water outlet and drain pipe need to be from the ground for the vanity height to be just right?

[BlueLionRoars]

Hi there! how much does the vanity weigh and it just needs the 2 brackets?

[simonpetrie]

Do appreciate the videos. Are there to help people so what you’re doing is a good thing
However this video is pretty much how to read instructions, not how to do it and you mention if you want to move the location get a plumber lol 🤨
