How to Install a Bathroom Vanity with Shelving | Avoiding Mistakes

[@PR-lj9rt]

High marks for keeping it real and including the little mistakes. Better seeing it than just talking about it, IMHO. Nice!!

[@Stevelemontrudy]

I like the "avoiding mistakes" angle. Unknown unknowns can crop up really easily and it's awesome to know how to handle them. Thanks.

Ha ! First timer here. Our new vanity is on the way. It has a bottom drawer and my pipes come up thru the bottom of my current vanity - yay! I think the P Trap should be okay as ours has a bottom drawer and then a shelf above it. It's a Glacier Bay 24" Huckleberry vanity and I have yet to see it on the inside. I'm assuming it has the cutout for copper lines coming up thru the floor. If not, I'll have to get creative. Seeing the conflict here with the P Trap hitting the drawer is great and shows us that you just have to make it work. Great video. Thnx for sharing. As a noob I may make a video of my vanity replacement too. There are so many vids that don't always show roadblocks and how to get around them. But I'm going to take my time and enjoy my first vanity replacement.

I’m replacing a vanity on the first floor of a thrift story townhouse. The sink had a vent in the original plumbing. Do I have to use a vent in every bathroom according to Google, I do.

Do vanities with a bottom drawer have a cut out like this one for copper hot and cold lines coming up thru the bottom of the vanity, and not the wall? My old vanity has the copper pipes going thru two holes in the bottom of my old vanity. Of course my new one has a bottom drawer !! Lol

great segment. i just went to pull out our old vanity for a new one. the new one has drawers that are 20 inches from the wall and the water supply is 21. i believe the height is tall enough to be above the back of the drawer. based on that and old valves, i think i'm going to hire a professional. thanks for sharing.

Vanities are pricey. One grand for a basic 48". When they come up on Facebook marketplace, relatively new, they're gone in like an hour. Love that Pop up drain, the stupid ball and stick thing is always hard to line up.

Hi i love this vanity but i have my own drop in sink snd plan to order a top for it. Is there any reason why i cant use my own top? Looks like it does not come attached.

Hello Steve. I've Learned So Much From Your Videos!! Thank You!!!

[@michiganporter]

Nice work explaining about just to pilot the hole from the back and finish the hole from the inside out. Thank you for this content! I recommend your channel to alot of people interested in remodeling the bathrooms in their house

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks Ben 👍

Excellent recovery

[@TheAxecutioner]

Keep a small plunger under the sink for when the pop up drain stops up, because pop ups do clog more easily and more often than the old style drain.

Thank you so much for this. Just removed and installed a vanity for the first time. A lot easier with this tutorial.

[@timothypiazza-u8p]

Great stuff!! Thanks for the knowledge brother!!!

[@krisallen9194]

Again, this is why I love your videos. You really show how things can trip you up on remodels. Great video and I love the bathroom.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

I sometimes cause my on problems 😆 I knew better on that drain location…

[@krisallen9194]

I was cranking on a leaky shut off valve connected to CPVC…. I knew better haha

[@jusgibs]

Excellent tips. Thanks!

[@charlesmcadory8286]

Or the homeowner brings you an Ikea knock down vanity made out of MDF. Ya laugh inside and let them know that this is not a good idea for a wet area. They don't listen and say I like it. You install.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

That’s right 😆

[@ricthm4553]

Good video Steve talking about potential vanity problems and then showing your actual problem and how to make it work. I have had some interesting installs myself. Customers don't understand why the vanity they love won't work. 😢

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks, yeah I feel like it’s the same conversation in every bath, 😆 “that won’t work well in a corner”, “ you need a different faucet for that”, “shelving doesn’t work with existing drain location” 😆

[@ricthm4553]

@Bathroom Remodeling Teacher I wanted to mention how I enjoyed seeing you conversing with Sal " The Godfather of Tile". One of my all time favorites, very talented.

[@TheSlipperyNoodle]

Love the honesty.

[@scottschumacher1585]
