How to Install a Kitchen Countertop -- Buildipedia DIY

[@ramonawalker5473]

I appreciate the authenticity of the messy backyard. Most homes in need of repair do house growing families.

[@myfeeling4you]

you showed me ways to approach this in a simple manner,looks tidy and taking the top outside to do the sink/faucet install is something I've never thought of. Thanks

[@Shawnmyrelle]

Watching this got me feeling ready to rebuild my whole kitchen.

[@FordyHunt]

I search for how to videos on youtube a lot, and this is potentially the best one I have ever seen. Good job.

[@michaelcolascione2423]

Awesome video. Makes installing a countertop look pretty simple and easy and your way is pretty efficient.

[@MichaelMoore-zi2yf]

This was a great, professionally done video. Thank you

[@sandraford5586]

You make it look so easy - Im keen to give it a go because of you lol. Just need the proper tools, drills...Thankyou from the heart of Australia!

Wow he makes it look so easy! I didn't know installing a counter and sink could be relatively simple. A diamond cutter would cut through granite too right?

[@brandonGCHACHU]

yes

[@WOLVERINE95899]

Other than using silicone for the seam where epoxy should be used, you should never hammer your sink anchors in on the faucet side without adequate support underneath. It is very fragile there .You can crack that area very easily with a hammer blow. I would suggest using 4 saw horses to support the counter top. I would also use a rubber mallet vs. a framing hammer. Fantastic video other than those two tiny points.

[@red6833]

10 videos until I watched yours... Thanks very much!!! They always show countertops installation then a shot with a sink with tap already installed. For a dummy "like me" (but that was before this video)... I always install the tap after the sink has been installed. It is then too hard to install the tap as there is a limited space between the sink and the wall, most especially for 10-12" deep sink. Of course now I know that you have to install not just the sink but the tap as well and just position it in the prepared wood base for it. BTW, I see that in any event I need to replace an old tap, I might have to encounter the same problem for access though, limited space to work on. .. although as I type, I realized: why not a very long screw driver for easier access?? Toinks! !!! We just get clever each day or as the minute passes by, eh?

[@ShaneHolly]

Those anchors get pushed out when screw goes past anchor.. Also did you epoxy them in to place? Did you under size the hole? What size are they 7/16?

[@christinajones7319]

Great job! What type of stud finder you have?

[@chelaparker8119]

😊 haven't been this invested in a video in awhile. Great job!

[@markmccoy6954]

COOL Video.....giving me some good ideas when I begin my home rehab business

[@gilbertrr]

Should you anchor the countertop to the base? Thanks! Good video

[@granitecountertopssarasota4150]

The recycled glass countertops look nice and an interesting alternative to granite countertops.

[@djalecs2790]

you don t use montaj silicon for the sink u just route the wood so that the sink stays inside and has support and whatever you do you don t do it in that clotes :). almost forgot.. what is the use of the glasses when you open the 35mm hile for the tap? you can t injure your eyes doing that

[@fbjaswinder]

Very nice prescribe , best way of installation of Sink

[@kennethcarroll5420]

Where can I get the anchors, clips, and hole saws to cut granite

[@ericwright7076]

Everything except for the seam (joint) looks good. You need a two part epoxy to get that nice and tight. Also doesnt hurt to level it up with shims under the counter.

[@Alutacon]

+Eric Wright why didn't he use brackets on the side of the sink also? do u not need them?

[@patrickbousquet9158]

Is there a link for the countertops?!

[@paulaguilar5041]

How come no dishwasher or garbage disposal. Did you use plumbers putty on the drain?

[@ljmpublishingllc3312]

Great video! I love how you explain and demonstrate each step.

[@caseyj5597]

The corner section is wasted space. Have you done another video that shows better use of the corner I.e installing a true corner cupboard?

[@lorinlewis23]

Or a nice lazy Susan

[@Codebravo0514]

all countertops have that wasted space. it's the way it is.

[@caseyj5597]

+Luis Solla I was referring to the cupboard in the corner. In this day and age there are proper corner cupboards that can be purchased so you do not lose the space in the corner. So it's not just the way it is!! If you do an internet search you will see base corner units are available so the space is not wasted.

Great video! I work in a tile store, so this is a big help to explain to customers.

[@marydaniels38611]

Can you add a seller to countertop contact paper

[@DALBuildersInc]

Easy to follow and clear explanation. Great video!

[@vectormission]

use color match polyurethane cauking for the sink and back walls to help water proof it, and use silicone under the cabinet after you lay the top down, 6-8 inches (for easy future removal and to save your cabinets) to avoid taping your wood finish.

[@anothersomebody8195]

Do you mean you wouldn't glue the top of the structure, rather you lay the top on it first, then you calk from below at the joint, so if you ever wanted to remove you would just score the joint with a blade and lift?

[@Em350z]

everything was fine until that SEAM why did you not used the right Seam Rejointner Epoxy? you cant use silicone or Caulk ? and would it make it a whole piece thats small piece on the side.

[@LonskiBig]

....I wondered about that too.....Silicone waterproofs, but doesn't "lock" in place.......thought that was curious...

[@hectorluismatos]

Very nice.....But, Not is Channer lock, this is the brand, it's a Adjustable Plier. Thank you for you show.

[@cw9533]

I love the clear instructions. My question though is what goes on the wall now between the counter top?

[@alvinabejuro6377]

how about the corner space ? its been used :(

[@RandomsFandom]

how much should i be making per sqft if i am installing granite

[@pele6922]

whats the approx cost of a countertop like that? My current one is similar in size. Thanks

[@willm0re556]

Cool, thank you guys for giving me the idea on the cauk glue gun. I'll have to see if this works with my ikea countertop desk. I love this desk so much, but the only thing I hate about it is that it slides around way too much.

[@casagozo]

Great summary. You make it look way too easy and fast, but very well done. Thanks.

[@peoplemakenoise]

Nice! Thanks for posting this video.

[@Alutacon]

why no brackets on the sides of the sink?

[@jeriatrix4526]

No disposal unit??

[@joshkane6227]

My stud finder goes off every time I look at it.....

[@m.santiago760]

lmaoooo

[@JAllyFarms]

so the countertop just sits on top of the counter?

[@marbleflooringjitendrasharma]

Good

[@lhouma2000]

Clean job love it

[@snizzle515151]

no router for worktop joints?

[@manojmangalath3392]

very Useful.. Thanks a lot

[@J91934]

What about checking for level?

[@micheallewis2568]

+J91934 When installing cabinets you are checking for level. You'r floor isn't level probably and neither is your wall. You must do it on install of cabinets.

[@jonsan8553]

+Micheal Lewis , you're half right, but not all counter has the same thickness, even if it is from the same slap or batch.

[@sunnienie239]

It’s beautiful job

[@adamh9386]

do NOT use silicone for your seam/joint that is stupid it will eventually pop. Use an epoxy glue

[@chadandtayler5233]

Wrong

[@anothersomebody8195]

@@chadandtayler5233 Elaborate?

[@brianmitchell8479]

This is some good information.

[@CassidyRandazzo]

Your sink is going to leak unless you put silicone or plumbers putty around your basket strainer. The pipe going into the wall is your trap arm, and then there's your P-trap. When putting that together you probably should have told people about the ferals and where to put them in which way to face them because that's the biggest mistake people make when hooking up a P-trap. And you seem to have forgotten your escutcheons behind your angle stops

[@adamkimo7447]

That so nice work

[@asadullahfarooqi254]

amazing word dear loved your work

[@TheArashirani1]

[@ivoryrose2419]

[@4gunner]

@MrPaul6002 Hahaha! Why is it wrong?

[@Pleepleus]

Thanks!

[@andreaschristodoulou4274]

well the this guy he so lucky found the inside studs where exactly he wanted them he is very very lucky ....

[@BOBBY-et9xb]

That looked like a jig saw not a saber saw. lol

[@alanray7177]

[@spacesae8286]

wow all those tools....im looking for a good show with using only the traditional tools and the techniques needed to mount a floating cabinet to a wall. a concrete wall

[@srirampillai29]

[@shivbaba2672]

No room for fridge dishwasher and stove.

[@MorganRobertsActor]

[@johnymontana1000]

[@yupgamer5165]

[@cooldog60]

You forgot to hookup the garbage disposial and dish washer.

[@michaelgrover5898]

music far too loud no point in trying understand directions

[@andrewkissinger7137]

that seam is embarrassing... no counter top company would let that slide.. i would be fired lol

[@reptilesgamers00]

5:32 That doesn't look good to me.

[@fdsfdsafasdfsad]

great clip~~

[@Jwoo160]

not very careful with that granite should be using something to help support it on the more fragile pieces it will break.

[@fljetgator1833]

It's not granite. It's recycled glass

[@lorinlewis23]

BUSTED!!!! Broken counter top edge on left side at (1:30) lol great vid though

[@jasonjbarnett]

no... it just looks that way due to the dark shirt of the other guy. lol great comment though ;)

[@kgnconstructionkhan3484]

Super

[@kitchencabinetvalue]

In order to get the fit right, we would recommend a professional. Mess ups are costly.

[@web3036]

that's the worst install I've ever seen. no seem tool put together with silicone. it goes together with epoxy and a seem tool dude, lol you remind me of cheap chuck in a truck

[@mohammademdadullah881]

[@patrickbousquet9158]

"seam"... Tool.

[@يومياتيمعابني-ع6ض]

bravo ww vesiter ma chene

[@Spartan1234ish]

Nah don't use silicone in the seam. I would have personally put the seam at a 45 degree angel.

[@brahimbrahim7036]

اعجبني شوكرن لاكم

[@nholt]

It looks so easy but when I try to it I bet it will be a disaster ha

[@Al-Qurmuti]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@romeocampos8149]

Wtf!!! Hahaha, I was kinda with it until the selicone. If ur going to half ass it, use the gorilla grib atleast.( Colored epoxy is what I recommend)

[@vadymvolodko7252]

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.

[@ZZ90755]

1/ wrong boring tool and it’s wrong using a drill. You’ll have to use an angle grinder with variable speed. The boring tool has to be diamond core drill bit specially mounted on grinders. Will stop short here your advise is WRONG your Technique is wrong go back to school or the field.

[@joshmarauder]

Been doin this for 14years this guys made many long term mistakes...done ever use silicone for the seam use the epoxy glue 2 part and mix color

[@dodgerfan251]

Your fired

Use Your Brain, You Donot Need To Damage Glass Countertop By making Holes For Brackets....You Can secure Sink In The Base and Glue With Silicone To Join.
