I'm doing this now in a very small 1/2 bath. I'm an experienced Handyman - Homeowner. The place was built in 1986. I have faced almost every problem. 1. Wallpaper on the walls 2. The Old shut off valves leak 2. The floor is not level. 3. The Wall is not plumb 4. The wall is curved. 5. finding studs is not always straightforward, especially with plumbing in the wall. 6. The sink base and sink do not line up so that the flat surfaces provide a good gluing/caulking area. This video provides some basic knowledge but there are better ones out there. Give your project a try but be aware that you will likely face a few obstacles that might require you to watch a few more DIY videos or even make you think "I should have hired a professional." If you take your time you will get it done.

i like how the vanity stick over into the window space.

I love how they make it look like a piece of cake. Our vanity was glued on so well that we couldn't get it off without breaking it and damaging the cabinet. We are taking the whole thing out with the vanity still intact.

[Methodical]

I just use a black marker/paint (something along those lines) on the pipe and push the vanity to the pipes and it marks the pipe locations on the back of the vanity. No measuring pipe location and transferring those measurements to the vanity. I found my method to be very easy.

wow it only take 3 minutes and 20 seconds to do

[kevinmontoya]

man you left a big enough gap to catch dust and mold but you didn't make the cap wide enough to put your hand in

That’s perfect! I can plug my faucet in without an extension cord.

Holy cow! The outlet is right in front of the faucet handle!!

This is a “ abstract “ DIY video. Just to cover main steps in a perfect world.Very helpful to get the main idea and see tools & things to have . In reality, you have to be very careful in each step.
So,
Do not rush. Allocate plenty of time. Expect the worst and “ measure twice before any cut / drill/ hole”…

Good luck

"Watch us tear up a historic bathroom and make this look like the typical 'flipper house'..." Great guidance on how to hook up the new P trap, too...

Can’t wait to go to Home Depot and use this information thanks Lowe’s

[dfz]

Why does everybody skip over the faucet install. Annoying. People need that information. The directions are useless.

0:11 - Now putting in a new stinkin vanity is easy :) All seriousness, helpful video!

[johnhowe]

I bet it's one of those 8 hour projects for the 1st timer, it's always something that gets messed up.

[Livereater]

dumb spot for the outlet... now would've been the time to relocate

[StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Great video. I'm so happy to see how easy this is. The G.C's want to charge so much for such a simple install so I'm going to try it myself. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

I wen to to Lowe's yesterday to get a bathroom vanity to take advantage of their bath savings event. Most of the vanity sinks were made out of a painted material they call "cultured marble". It's a bad quality material that doesn't last. You have to be very careful, because it looks solid, but when you tap on it you can tell it's either plywood or plastic. I had to go somewhere else to get a vanity with a porcelain top.

It bothers me slightly that it’s up against a window.

[billiamklein]

Do not install the faucet before putting the top on. If you do then you won't get a caulking gun, edging tool or your fingers behind the faucets to apply a nice bead of caulk.

The vanity is in part of the window. What’s wrong with these two fools
