Love these bathroom videos!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching, Sharon!
You have done a great job... Really helped me to get info and inspiration to do it myself... Thanks a ton 👍🏻
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and good luck with you project!
Great video! Quick tip for you, when spreading silicone like that, use a glove over your finger. If you don't the silicone is much more likely to have mould issues. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the tip! Thanks for watching!
Looks great!
Thanks ML!
This was fantastic!
I appreciate It! Thanks so much for watching!
hey this is exactly what I am doing, the brackets were a great tip !! wasn't sure how I wanted to mount it but i'm on my way now. great job !!!
Glad it helped, James! Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements Can I Hire You To Do This?
Great video! Quick tip for silicone to avoid masking tape, apply the bead of silicone and mist it with isopropyl alcohol and you'll be able to clean up the bead super easy. It pretty much removes the messy parts of the job and looks 100% pro when you're done.
Wow! Just brilliant!!
Thank you sir!
Good Job bud! Love the resin look on it.
Appreciate it, Scott. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic post! Thanks for this tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching!
Great job👏👏👏👏👏👍
I love how the plumbing is pretty much hidden love the video
Thanks! Appreciate you watching 👍
Nice job
Great job will use some of your tips on mine. Though the basin was backwards flat edge against wall for easy cleaning and angle end facing out so you can use 3 inch space under basins angled edge.
But great work in any case
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
Good work. 😊
Thank you Andrew

thanks.. informative video
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Awesome
i want to do EXACTLY the same - and just got your video in the rigth moment :) well done :)
Appreciate it, Alex! Good luck with your project!
I love it! I wanted to do the same thing until I saw your video. Gonna engineer something less permanent
Nice
Hi! I didn't see the earlier video, but I wanted to ask if you had any concerns about the bathroom feeling too small. I want to divide our medium size bathroom , ( on the second floor near three bedrooms), into a hall bath ( smallish but with full size tub and shower), and a slightly smaller , 3 piece bath - almost exactly the size of your bathroom- master bath. It would be 8.5 feet long (door on short end where your door is), by 3.5 feet wide. I'm hoping to put a box bay in the room to give it 1-1.5 feet more elbow room.
My husband is concerned that this reduction in size would hurt resale value: That people may feel it is too small. But I think privacy is more valuable. I love your design. It makes the bathroom feel airy. Great project!
Very Verry Nice Well Sir 💯💯💯
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
What would you recommend for a bathroom that has just been dry walled? I don’t want to cut holes in the wall to install the brackets, but I don’t know how else to secure it firmly.
this is amazing, what are the measurements of your bathroom, I have tiny bathroom with a laundry in it so wondering if my butt is gonna touch the wall if I change the place of the sink this way :D I would love to get the measurements of the room and the vanity as well if possible please! :) Thanks for the awesome tutorial though!
You had me at taping for perfect caulk lines 🤯
Can’t tell if sarcasm haha but I tried the “glass cleaner” trick the other day and I don’t think I’ll ever use tape again. Thanks for watching!
No sarcasm here. What's the glass cleaner trick?
@@TuffLuck392 I think it's the one where you spray glass cleaner on the caulk line and then wipe/tool it with your finger, though I've only heard of it but never tried. Only tried the tape trick and also the silicone tool; both work okay but not perfect.
Curious about a follow up on the shelf. From the looks you didn't seal the bottom which will probably lead to issues, if it hasn't already.
Great video!!! I am inspired. Can I ask if you have the board clamped down while using the jig saw?
I appreciate it! And yes, I clamped it to the saw horses to keep it from moving around. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Did you make a video on how you piped the actual faucet?
what size drill bit did u use to make the whole for the sink
And where do you put all your bottles and other private bathroom products in such vanity?
What’s the difference with the plumbing?
It looks great.
Rather than doing the epoxy, what do you think about just doing a polycrylic coat?
Hi! You could probably get away with multiple coats of poly, but it would be downgrade from epoxy (imo) in terms of longevity and water resistance. Let me know how it turns out if you end up going that way! Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements awesome, thanks for the advice! I may give it a shot with the poly since I've never worked with epoxy and already have the poly, so we'll see what happens lol! Thanks again for the advice and great work!
@@lhtsnakes1 Good luck! Hope it turns out great. And thanks again for the support!
Great video. Did you put epoxy on the back of the board?
Appreciate it! And I did not, although I thought about it. I just figured that if the bottom of the board is seeing water, I have bigger problems 😂. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Super helpful. Can you link your p trap?
Hey Jaclyn! Affiliate link to the exact bottle trap I purchased is below:

Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements thank you so so much! Your an angel ❤️❤️
any way to have a wood vanity without the epoxy look? Any way to "waterpoof" it but keep it a little more natural looking?
Awesome job. Lol I think everyone sucks t caulking.
Hey there, can I ask what jig saw you are using? I see its Ryobi, but would like to know what exact model
it’s the JS481LGD model! Thanks for watching!
Were are the shut off valves for the faucet???
Do you know the weight ratings for vanity brackets? Amazon listening doesn’t mention.
Hi! I don't know exactly.. But I did perform a body weight test once they were installed and they held up my 175 lbs with no problem. Thanks for watching!
how did you work out the height of the shelf to match the waste pipe?
Hi! I did all of the plumbing so I had this in mind from the start. Basically, you just need to measure the distance from the vessel sink drain + the trap adaptor drop. Most trap kits will have an extension piece to make it easy to adjust the height as needed. Thanks for watching!
Can you turn a sink like the one you installed into one that has an overflow? There has to be a way to do that??
Hi! after a quick Google search, it looks like they do make vessel sinks with a built in overflow - so you should be golden!
Did you use the bottle trap for looks only? I believe it functions the same as a standard p trap. Couldn't you have made your own bracing for the counter/sink with flat irons? Why didn't you? Not a criticism, just wondering. Thanks.
You are correct - Bottle trap was for aesthetics only since it is fully exposed. I am not quite sure what you mean about the flat irons. Thanks for watching!
Do you like the VIGO sink? is it a smooth texture like a porcelain sink?
Hi Mark! I do like the sink and it is a smooth texture. The Vigo sink is OK, installation was kind of a pain.
Thanks for watching!
How big was the drain hole and what size saw bit should I use for a 1 /34 vessel sink drain hole please?
I would order the drain pipe first so that you know the exact size. Then just drill a hole that marginally larger than the drain pipe! Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements thank you for your help.
@@lenpeck1 sorry for not giving more precise advise, but it's best to verify once ordered. However, for a 1.75" drain pipe, a 2" penetration should be good!
How high do the inwall faucets go??? I'm going crazy with this. I can't seem to find an answer in Google.
Hey Danny! Depends on a few factors (height/style of since, etc.) but I installed mine about 41" above the finished floor elevation!
you should have used a walnut or get an old piece of furniture from a thrift store but it really looked nice after the poly coat
That is actually a great idea about repurposing something from a thrift store. I'll keep that in mind for the next one. Thanks for watching!
What are your shut off valve’s?
Hi! They are in the wall (accessible from the closet on the other side). Thanks for watching!
💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
why not build a wooden frame with inspection hatch for the water stop?
How do you like the size of the sink? Too big, too small or just right??
It's a little on the large side for my bathroom, but overall I think it works well. Thanks for watching!
Great job! (ya know, except for the mixing part - you should have spent more time in the kitchen with your mother) lol
Came out beautiful!
Whats the hight of the vanity without the sink?
Top of vanity is at 28" from the finished floor. Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements thank you for taking the time to answer.
Oh, i tryed looking up the board you got but couldn't find it with the number you showed.
But did see similar boards. Do you remember the dimension of the board you bought?
Why did you use white silicon for the toilet but grey for everything else?
Honestly, I don't remember. I think the white silicone around the toilet maybe didn't contrast so much. That might have been my logic.
Hi, what are the dimensions for this shower space?
Hi! It was about 44" wide by 9’ long when I started. I stole about 18” from the closet to get my extra length for the shower. Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements thanks
This time I will do it manually with the help of WoodPrix plans designs.
*To small returned*
Lol more expanssive than buing finished furniture
That same $8 board now cost $200....
Haha you're probably right. It's tough out here. Thanks for watching!
