Nice job. Word of caution, I had the same faucet from Amazon and it ended up being a pain in the rear. Held water spots and the matte coating wore off after a year. Also, you might want to replace the accordion pvc pipe as they get can easily clogged and I believe they are not up to plumbing codes. The big box stores sell them as a temp fix for a diy, not really meant for permanent plumbing solutions. Overall, this is a really good thing to see, folks taking control of their home improvements!
the challenge with vessel sinks on butcher block (wood) counter tops is water related damage. Water and/or condensation will naturally roll down the outsides of the sink toward the base. Using caulking around the sink isn't enough to keep it in place with even minor bumps and over short periods of time the cracked caulking will allow moister to build under then around the edge of where the sink sits since the wood might be saturated at some point. So use plenty of caulking under the sink to lock it in place and then caulk around the base with the goal of keeping it secured.
Awesome work girl. I’m getting ready to install mine. You should change your valve before it leaks. There are some great videos here on UA-cam. With the right tools, it took me about 15min to switch out. I love the feeling of “no leaks”.
I re-watched this again... Your sheer enjoyment is so special. I love it when people (especially women) empower themselves by doing things on their own. You can never be better served than by yourself. You rock. I am about to start working on my dry sink (need to refinish) and attach the vessel sink and faucet. I'll be back later. Thank you again for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for that, yes I was so happy and excited, I still am, I love showing it off haha. I know you’ll do great on your project good luck on everything!
Great video! One thing I noticed is your technique for the plumbers putty. I would watch a few yt videos on how to do it properly. You essentially create a "snake " and wrap it around the bottom of the drain and then once it's seated u cut off the excess that spills out. It seems you put it below the porcelain. It should be on top of porcelain but under the drain. Other than that you did a great job. If you ever have leaking problems I would check that first.
I've been looking for the right video to guide me through changing my drop in to a vessel sink in a SUPER tiny bathroom and this is the perfect one! Thank you so much for posting this sis!
Great job! Butcher block looks awesome. I would recommend replacing the accordion PVC though as it doesn't meet the plumbing code for any state anymore as it easily gets clogged and floss/hair/fibrous materials can cause capillary issues for your p trap. Home insurances can drop your policy for things like this as well. A couple of PVC elbow parts can assist and helps to step up your plumbing game even more.😉 Beautiful work otherwise!
Hi Tiffany! We have a small bathroom as well, which when we bought the house we found out that the previous owner had installed an unusual size of drop in basin. Of course when pulling it some of the Formica came up with it, with no chance of covering the damage with standard sink dimensions. My wife had mentioned butcher block cut to the unusual dimensions of our bathroom, and a vessel sink became an option. Your how to video was the first I found on UA-cam, and gave us the confidence to make this happen. Doubt we could have done it without your presentation! Many thanks!!!
Great job! The only thing you did wrong was install the plastic accordion pipe from the sink to the p-trap backwards 🧐 Anyway I wish you luck with your future projects!
Great job. Got the video right before me starting my project. Going to be very helpful. In many jurisdictions the accordion pipe before trap is not to code. Secondly black drain pipe and plumber putty don’t go together due to chemical unfriendliness. It is recommended to use clear silicone instead. I also loved the nice accessories area behind🔧🛠🛠
Did you paint the vanity matte black yourself? I wanted to paint my vanity and stumbled upon your video. It was everything I wanted to do to mine. Thank you!
Young lady, you rocked this video from beginning to end!!!!! I have to do the same thing and you only get one cut on a new countertop. How did you know how large to drill the holes? was it in the instructions? Click here to see my first efforts at plumbing. i promise you it will never happen again! :) ua-cam.com/users/shortsUn3eofV7-_w?si=cXhJbN2xFLjmvBn1

@@ArthurCowdery that’s why you seal it with waterproof sealant

do you know of a link to a video that shows how to do this?
This is the best DIY video I've seen on how to do this and where to find the parts. I also appreciate the plumbing comments so we don't muck that up.
Awe, Thank you so much! 🥰🤗
