Wow' thanks JT. IF you had not made this SPECIFIC video, I couldn't have convinced my father that I could install it. You see, I bought this cabinet and sink recently for a rental and (since my so-called 'handy' man couldn't install it) I've had it in my garage since then. I recently moved into my father's house to support his wish to age in place and began a basement reno. He balked at my fitting it myself UNTIL I showed him this video. Thanks to you, I have been (allowed to, and...) able to do most of the project myself. Please forgive the gush when I say that I'm thrilled that an honest, skilled tradesman has found such great success by doing something that straight-up helps people. And you are Canadian-- which makes me an even prouder one!
The best part of this video is seeing that you ran into issues and tripped for a second, but were able to get it right in the end. No studs behind the drywall, dropping your tape measure... The same crap normal dudes run into during these type of projects. Thanks for these vids!
Real life renos.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Hey, do you know if kitchen faucets from ikea fit bathroom sinks? I checked the height, distance, it's fine, i only ask for the diameter of the base. Since they seem same diameter, and ikea doesn't give any measurements on the online pdf documents unfortunately. (i can't go to store personally)
I'm off to the Home Despot having just dropped my good tape measure into an abyss behind the wall...
@@mv80401 I was working at a 3 level beach house one time and dropped my tape measure into the bay. had to wait for low tide to get it.
Dont forget the laser light from the level right on the face!
I been watching a lot of your videos... I'm a huge fan since a kid of This Old House and others like it. Your show is on point! You are very calm and explain things very well. Your camera angles are the best. You can see everything! I appreciate your time showing us what you do. Please keep it coming. I know it takes a lot of time and work to make these vids. Thank you
Thank you , we really appreciate the comment. Cheers, we love what we do!
Awesome tutorial on IKEA product. I worked for the company for 4yrs and did assembly in the store and progressed to starting my own Handyman assembly for IKEA products. It's very lucrative in California, then had to relocate due to bitter divorce to South Carolina. Totally different species, I would love to work with customers again doing the same type of work. I watch a lot of your videos and their spot on and your humbleness to teach DIY about the craft you're BLESSED with and LOVE to share. GOD BLESS YOU and your family and keep up the GREAT work.
I love IKEA methodology (and their prices). I also greatly admire Jeff Thorman’s astute practicality and his ability to call that spade an actual spade. For me, these two philosophies on the same video creates a masterpiece. There are lots of good UA-cams and a few masterpiece UA-cams. This is one of the latter.
Thank Cory! I find myself doing some pretty practical things in my day, so when I get a chance to share I do.
I was in the business for 35 years and have seen a lot of videos regarding new products. This is, by far one of the best. Great job.
Thanks Joseph!
Getting ready to install my 7th and 8th IKEA Godmorgon sink this weekend. The instructions recommend drilling holes and wood screws through the back support into the stud locations. I usually use those super duty wall hangers. I would have liked to see Jeff connecting the drain. The drain piece has been the biggest hassle with these, for me.
I've installed two 24" IKEA cabinets in two small bathrooms. You can't beat their set up. They have created a lot more storage with their crazy drain line set up. Can't beat the price and quality.
Before seeing this vid and on a whim I just bought this sink at IKEA with the same cabinet and faucet. Awesome sauce! You're the reason I switched over to PEX on a prior project, Fortunately I have an unfinished wall and you save me a boatload of time.
I was so happy that you are the one who posted the video since I already watched a dozen or so of yours. I wanted to buy this cabinet and looked up a how-to video as I wasn't sure what the space behind the drawers was. Thanks so much!
I stumbled across one of your videos several months ago when preparing to do a major renovation in a rental property. Since then I’ve continually come back to your channel as a reliable source of information, advice and tricks of the trade. Your presentation style if really clear and understandable - and realistic. The fact that you don’t cut out the times when you struggle with IKEA instructions or accidentally drop the measuring tape down the backside of the wall are great! Your credibility goes up in my books - and reassures me that I can complete the jobs despite all the stupid things that occur during the project. Thanks for these awesome videos - they really are fantastic.
Thanks Kent, That is why we do what we do. Cheers!
Thank you. Seeing problems that come up is the most helpful part of your videos!!!
Nice video! Every time I hang a anything. My wife always grabs the level to check my work! I'm liking the laser level recommendation.
I am gonna swear by it until I die.
From London England I am watching this at 6 in the morning well done we have IKEA here I'm sure you'll around the world good job keep it coming all the best
I'm planning to replace my vanity with an IKEA vanity, and this was super helpful. Thanks, Jeff.
@26:45, the little rubber “plug” sitting on your left, goes over the end of that key tool. The rubber creates plenty of grip on the overflow flange and really lets you snug it up tight. Great install Jeff. If you’ve got a few minutes of patience, and half a brain, it’s easy to see that Ikea stuff is VERY thoroughly thought out and engineered. Albeit Scandinavian so slightly different in some aspects, it really is insanely good value for the money.
Very helpful on the addition of the 'sister studs' for proper support. I am planning this project for my brothers house - we are also hanging heavy cruise ship mirror and light fixture, so getting lots of ideas for the sister stud addition since it is 'very small 34" wall, barely having 2 studs. Thanks!
Please do more of these type of videos. They are so helpful for do it yourselfers.
LOVE your videos!!!
Thank you for making such great content!
We blokes out our walls to accept lag bolts to have a true floating look!! I thought we had to have legs bc I was sure it would torque off the wall otherwise! So glad we blocked it out!!!
Thanks so much!!
About to install my wall mounted cabinet and wasn't sure how to do it. This video is AWESOME! Thanks so much. I'll let you know how it goes!
This was great, now considering an ikea product for my bathroom project. Love the channel
Just mounted his in a bathroom remodel with tile walls now is in my recommended videos 👍the plumbing is crazy but works
I don’t know what I would do without this channel. Although I suspect the overconfidence I get from watching this is why I’ve gotten a bit over my head a few times in my home renos. But that’s not an issue, because there’s a video for everything and it’s so well explained!
This video is very relevant, especially next week after the flooring is done and the bathroom gets finished in my basement. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video! Your expertise coupled with reliable/budget-friendly options is a winning combo. My fiance and I just bought our first house, so more videos like this would be amazing!
On the way!
This video was particularly helpful to me. And your teaching technics are right on point. After watching so many, you seem like a friend. Blessings to you and your camera guy who does very very good shots of the detail work. Blue ribbon or Gold stars for him.
I just used Ikea cabinet to build my basement bar; I brought home 40 packages, 40 instruction guides , no single word, all pictures, a lot fan, I like it.
Thank you sooooo much for this video, I was putting in a floating vanity and had the same issues with the studs. I was looking all over you tube to see if anyone had a solution. Thanks again !!!!
Been subbed for awhile now and just found this vid as I am considering a sink like this. Thanks so much for showing us how it’s done. Love your show!
Yes love to see more IKEA installs along with IKEA under counter lighting. We are doing our kitchen and bath all IKEA. Your info on the sink install is a real great help for us.
Hi Tommy, we are currently installing a new kitchen and using Ikea. videos on the way!
Highly appreciate your instructional videos. Thank you!
Thanks for this great video. I purchased this very sink for my bathroom and have been stressed about the install. This video is going to be a great help!
Love the video. I would love to see how to install some of the high-end features like a paneled refrigerator, wood panel ceiling, built-in speakers, barn doors, linear drains, free standing tubs, motorized shades etc..
Will be installing one in our new bathroom. Was glad to see this one pop up on my feed. Thanks Jeff, keep it em coming. Best coach on the tube.
Thanks Phil, your gonna love it!
This video was very helpful, thank you. I actually had studs right where I needed them believe it or not, so I didn't have to use your helpful suggestions, but great to know for the future. I had a friend with me, so using a normal level worked just fine.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm installing this exact setup and your video helped me immensely. Very much appreciated.
i think ive watched your entire catalog of vids about bathroom demo and remodels. as i am starting to do mine in a few weeks. I cant say enough on how much you helped me out so far and i haven't even started yet! i will recommend ur channel to anyone i know thats tackleing a remodel on their own. Thanks again and I wish u guys alot of success!
Thanks Chilli! We are really enjoying the UA-cam community so far. Cheers!
Getting close to when ours go in. This was really helpful. You are a gift!
This video was very helpful. Great tips and time savers. Thanks for posting.
Loved how easy you make it look...!!! Thank you Again.
Very much appreciate the level of detail and variables to consider. Thanks for giving me a good reason to buy one more tool; a laser level. One thing that, if clarified, would help complete your tutorial is to discuss whether a similar metal drain system to the Ikea version can be pieced together when using a non Ikea sink/faucet since the drawers are not notched for conventional plumbing.
This has to be my favorite video, the " how dumb can people be " was great. Then "I dropped my tape measure in the wall" Giggle... So real, so true, so funny. The silly $h1t I have done over the years I feel so validated now. Thank you for this & leaving it in the final cut instead of editing it out.
Back in the late 90's I was a union millwright down here in the states and we all used Craftsman tape measures, they got butchered all the time and they always gave you a new one at Sears. Those were the days.
This is a great vanity with a 10 yr. warranty. I recommend buying the optional legs for the front.
I wasn't sure on how to screw the vanity to the wall but your video on bracing the lumber to the floor and to the wall joists provided me with the know how on properly install the vanity. Also it is my understanding that IKEA faucet and sink are made for each other in that when you open the water, water will not splash all over the place. Thanks again for your video, Francois from Ottawa
Glad to help Francois, hope all went well.
Nice work, Jeff. The only note I'd make on the Ikea furniture is that you should always make sure that the cams are accessible (I noticed that one of your strips had the cams facing words the wall), And these things can work loose over time, so I always want to be able to tighten them up without haviing to uninstall.
Outstanding video! Easy to follow along and understand, they are not all this way. Been considering a new vanity / sink for our bathroom and you have taken some of the confusion out of the install. Thanks for sharing
Glad to help J B
Very useful video, I am evaluating myself if i am able to install a similar product at home.
I installed the widest model of the GODMORGAN vanity. The back of vanity had a horizontal softwood nailing/screwing band that you were instructed to attach to the studs. Your model seems to have a agglomerate band.
Thank you for the thorough explanation.
I just did this, or part of it anyways, and your video was a huge help. Thanks a lot.
I installed one last year on the guess bathroom works great
This can be secured to wall without opening the drywall. Those 4 metal brackets have additional sets of holes to be set back 1/2 inch to accommodate horizontal wood support which secures to the studs. The brackets then secure to the two horizontal wood supports. Ikea does not supply the wood supports so you will need to cut it yourself. The optional ikea legs should also be used for additional support.
Damn, just installed it's bigger brother. Glad I got some coaching from you prior to your video. Thanks for posting.
Hey Nick, I trust everything is going well at your bathroom ! really enjoyed working with you and Tina! Cheers!
Great video. In the future could you please edit in the completed vanity/project. I am not familiar with this unit and it would be nice to see finished. Thanks for the great video!
I got two useless hands but I enjoy watching Jeff building things. Id wish I had friend like Jeff.
Can you please show how you reconciled the hookup of the wall drain tot he sink drain?
I have lath & plaster walls, so that part will be scary (on so many levels), but the sink/cab install is priceless. Thank you!
If you open a hole in the wall with a multitool you will find that behind the lath there is a 2x4 cavity just like this one. You just need a longer screw. If your vanity is going on an outside wall then you may have solid wood to screw to behind the lath.
Great job once again !
I'm not sure I would have dared what you did on the right side for the frame because this seems weak to torque but I guess you got the experience to know it's gonna hold.
Cheers !
Thank you Furrane!
thanks for a very well made video I enjoy the simplistic way you describe your activities. keep up the good work .
Thanks Ian, will do.Cheers!
You Sir, are the man.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!!!!
nice work. I'm surprised u didn't use your multi-tool for that drywall cut. it takes a little more time, but a little construction adhesive on the joints makes these knockdown cabinets a lot sturdier.
I love your channel, ikea is quite popular here in europe so its great to see these kind of guides as well! Keep up the good work, i'm learning loads from watching your videos :)
Thanks Katie, glad to be of help. Cheers!
2 Videos in one day! I Love it Sir! The more the Merrier
Got too much to deliver and not enough weeks in the year. Cheers!
Wonderful job, you are a great resource & a beautiful person.
Thank you Ema, We really appreciate the comment! Cheers
Attach the faucet to the sink before you lay it on the cabinet. So much easier. Also, a bit of plumbers putty is a good idea. May be belt and suspenders, but it costs almost nothing to be sure it’s sealed.
Thank you that was really helpful as we place our small Ikea powder room sink together
Glad to be of some help Barb!
Love this video, thanks so much! I'm getting ready to install this vanity in a couple weeks so it's very timely. I'm installing subway tile on the wall behind the vanity, so I'm thinking I'll cut out the drywall and mount 3/4" strips of wood between 2 studs. This should leave the wood flush with the finished tile and give me a place to mount the vanity hanging hardware.
good thinking!
Really helpful video - thank you. One question - how would you adapt this for a wall with metal studs? Thanks
The smartest guy EVER
As always, excellent job, my friend! Looking forward to the next video. :)
Thank you Steve, once again thanks for the comment, We really appreciate it! Cheers!
Cool this is on my list for my master bath reno.
This is a great value and performance sink.
Thanks for all
Well, it’s 2020 and this guide still works. I had to walk a lady through the install yesterday at IKEA while i was getting my new vanity/sink combo, wish I had known about this video. NOTE: IKEA now will include a free rubber adapter to reduce the size of the waste pipe to their included trap pipe, ASK FOR IT in the bathroom section planing counter/desk.
Great video. Would love to see more like it. IKEA for sure but also other RTA cabinets for bathrooms and kitchen‘s.
Personally, I would love to see Jeff compare the top five or six RTA kitchen cabinets side-by-side for quality, strength of fasteners and definitely to include the look and function of the final product.
Great video Jeff, & I’m so envious of your ability to speed-read instruction manuals in seconds. 😂
LOL, just checking to see if there is anything different from the last 100 times I put one of these together.
Great video, thanks!
Just a tip...you can have installed the faucet and drain while the sink was off the cabinet...makes life a whole lot easier..
We've put about 6 of these in our flips. People love them especially in smaller bathrooms.
totally! Cheers!
Good video. Wouldn’t it be easier to attach all the sink attachments before placing over the cabinet frame?
You always have the awesome vids!
Thanks Adrian, we appreciate that!
Awesome thanks for sharing your talents and ideas I love your videos
Our pleasure, cheers!
The one and only who can talk and walk diy! Excellent content! I would agree with another comment though; to spend some time doing 'before and after' shots, this would really showcase your superb work!!
watch the reality renovision playlist. It has our projects with before and after shots. Cheers!
great video - we are considering an Ikea wall mounted sink and now I feel more comfortable. Although our house is 100 years old so we have lathe and plaster to deal with, not drywall.
Thyere is a good chance the wall behind the lathe may be solid wood if it is on the outside wall!
Good video... he covered everything but the thing I need advice on. How the heck do I tighten the sink strainer to the drain pipe????
Thanks so much! Excellent instruction. Will be installing the same today.
Hi Scott How did it go?
Home RenoVision DIY The job went great! Added two 15 next to existing studs. Great solution. Many Thanks!
Great video...thank you
You sir are better than I. That tape measure wouldn’t have won against me - even if it meant me ripping out the rest of the drywall to get to the dang tape - I would’ve 😂
I like your work.and you.
thanks for the video, i must say i was very happy to see it, lots of advices, of reasonable ideas and "trade tricks"
keep on with good work. i am happy that i could "steal" few working tips form you ;-)
That is what we are here for , to help homeowners save a ton of money by sharing trade secrets.
I enjoyed this tutorial. Could you have installed the faucet and drains with the porcelain sink removed for easier access?
Truth is zach, with an open cabinet there is no shortage of room and I like to plumb from the sink back to the wall for the best fit possible.
Thank You! Awesome video!
Thanks Carolyn.
Love it!
I'm not even installing anything from Ikea, yet I am still watching ;p
Perfect demonstration.
Thank you Jasmer Lall! We appreciate the comment.
I've always installed those little metal "catches" first...LOL...didn't realize IKEA tells you otherwise....great video! What do you recommend for a laser level? I was thinking, "I have to get one" when you went into your blurb on how helpful they are.
Great video, I'm about to install one of these but im worried that it wont carry the weight.
Nice video presentation, great job.
thank you for that!
cheers Jeff from the uk
