I’d been waiting a long time for this special order vanity top to come in. It came in once, but Home Depot lost the first one and had to reorder this one. This unit goes in our rental.
Worse part
The worse part of this job turned out to be getting the old one off. It was screwed in with Philips type screws. They were put in at odd angles and it was hard to reach under the sink through the front cabinet doors. Some of them stripped out the Phillips slots which made the job even harder. I tried to use my electric drill to unscrew some of the screws, but the weird angles and lack of room under there prevented me using that much.
But I finally did get the old top off with much patience.
New top
Now a days, they glue the new tops down and don’t use screws. I did install the new faucet before I installed the top to at least make that much easier as there isn’t much room under these things to work on stuff.
Pipes
The last thing to do was to hook up the water lines and the drain pipes which wasn’t too hard since I pre-installed the faucet first.
Done
I tested out the water and the drain for leaks and all was good. Happy to get this job done.
Looks nice! Under-the-sink work can be a major pain. Glad you got it done.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
Looks nice! Under-the-sink work can be a major pain. Glad you got it done.
