Bathroom Part Five…Starting to install the new wood work.

The new vanity fit nicely into the corner but the challenge is when the plumbing has to be let into the frame of the vanity box in a limited space. The drain runs to the right side crossing over one of the drawers. This is one of those times that it was more important to move the drain pipe than it was to chop the drawer box to clear. Custom design can’t cover all the unexpected conditions, especially when the measuring of the new was done before the tear out. The supply lines were in the center back and cleared the drawer below the shut offs. A nice feature of space design is to not give the plumbing any more room than it needs. The doors are snap release and are always removed until the plumbing is completed.

I made the top out of solid surface, mfgr by “Hannex”. The piece comes to me 30″ x 120″ x 1/2″ thick and must be fabricated into the configuration of the order. The bowl is glued on and becomes seamless. The back splashes were made of the same material along with the shaving shelf that ran all across the vanity and toilet.

The bulkhead panels and the crowns were also installed. Overall, this was a good day!
