[@kriskristensen2200]

As a video professional, I truly loved your use of sound effects, and no waste editing. Well done. Also clearly explained. Best video on the topic that I've watched all day.

This was a great video. I'm working on the same type of project. The only difference is that I will remove my flow-tight valve and change it to a shark bite one. Thanks for all you do.

It looks amazing. Did you cut down the base board or the vanity's legs towards the wall? As baseboard won't let it to flush to the wall

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Great question. Typically 100% yes. However, the slabsplash (or backsplash) was actually thick enough to close up the gap and still provide the look and purpose of a backsplash. So I didn't cut it out and it turned out great. I would probably recommend doing so though if you want it perfectly flush. I made sure to get some caulk and it turned out perfectly fine.

Did you need to cut the baseboard on the wall behind?

Don’t you also caulk around the sink to the wall?

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

Yeah I left that step out just because I needed to get the backsplash still. But you do want to finish it off with caulk on the top to help reduce the chance of any water getting back there.

I want to do this, but I live in an apartment. They tend to frown upon big renovations like this.

[@ColtonCrumpDIY]

You're right that they usually grown upon doing this. In some rare cases, if you ask your landlord and there is more of a personal relationship built, I have seen where renters complete renovations and have a renovation agreement created in doing so. Again, it's rare, but possible.

[@realtyrocks1969]

In most cases your won't get your deposit back anyways. If you're willing to risk the deposit I'd say go for it. If you're planning on renting for a long time the chances of getting the deposit back are even lower and increases the time before the landlord will ever know. You could always put it back when you left if you really wanted but of all the places I rented I kept the home in great shape every time and only once did I get my deposit back, and it was only half of what I paid.
