Now THIS is how you make a DIY video!! Well done!

[RobertManzano]

Really appreciate where you use the proper terminology (fish, gasket, tail pipe, slip joint, etc...) . Very helpful for understanding the tools.

I found this video very helpful. I'll feel calmer when I do this job on my bathroom later this week.

This helped me out so much. Just ripped out the older sink and got a newer one and I have to drill a few holes and such haha. I can totally get this now. Thanks so much for these awesome videos!! All these diy projects I have coming up, however long they may be, are actually really fun and insightful because of videos like yours.

I always liked vanities with the inlay type doors. One thing I have always done was use a 1 1/2" p-trap with the washer on the tail piece that reduces to the 1 1/4" tail piece from the sink drain. I have found that it gives better drainage especially if the sink doesn't have an overflow on it even though the trap holds water, it still drains quicker. Also by us, the 1 1/4" trap costs more. I have also used a belt sander on composite sinks in cases that I can sand the end by the wall, especially if the sink top doesn't offer endsplashes. Love that Delta offers long supply lines attached. Very seldom are they to short. If so, you can get a supply line, 3/8 on both ends.
Great concept on the silicone instead of plumbers putty on these style sinks so the plumbers putty doesn't have a chance to stain the sink because of the oil base in it.
Great job again Josh 🔨👍🏻

Good video. Really comprehensive. Plumbing always gums me up, so I really appreciate you taking the time to run through all the steps.

Your videos are very informative and i feel i learn the most them. Don't ever feel that you need withhold information (like others do just because they said it before). Most active viewers will be new and rookies like me, so i don't care if you've done 10 others like this one, I expected all the details on this video(the one I'm watching), and you gave them to me. Love the honesty too.

This was very helpful, I would suggest a pop up drain instead of what you used

[Wyndu]

Excellent video!!! I like to step by step instruction.

Josh you are a great craftsman and instructor -- very thorough but your videos move at a good pace. Sometimes I use utility knife to notch out drywall in corner for a cleaner sink top fit -- it's usually built up joint compound that puts corner out of square and caulk covers the small drywall cut. Also the shower tile and corner shelves I caught glimpse of at beginning look great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[jonathansanchez]

Great video. Thanks for the step by step and providing tools and parts.

[kataysmith]

Great video and easy instructions. Thanks!

[catherinecolbert]

I always learn so much from watching your videos. I want to permanently remove my dishwasher from my double sink kitchen drain. Do you have any videos on what I need to do? I also want to convert a double sink vanity to a single sink vanity so that there's more counter space in the bathroom. Any helpful videos on how to modify the plumbing?

[noahb.]

Thank you my friend, that was great 👍

[mattgrommesh]

I just binge watched like 7 of your videos lol. Good stuff. 👍

No need for purple primer. For finishing I like clear, less likely to drip on cabinets. Just make sure you buy a 4" or 8" spread faucet depending on the style. You do a great job explaining each step

I used to think that silicone was "hack work" But after talking a few plumbers, it's now the new and accepted way of installing pop-ups. Plumbers putty is the old man way..

I'm going to use the Shark Bite angle stops under my sink because if the valve ever starts leaking, it can be replaced without cutting the pipe.

I’ve watched so many washer videos and seen people use liquid nails, or a silicon before you place the vanity top on the cabinet. Which is it? I mean makes sense to put liquid nails but silicon? I’m so confused
