Thank you for this video. Single momma here remodeling my bathroom and doing it by myself. This video helped walk me through it step by step. Very helpful!
How’d it go?
i would have helped you
Thank you for talking about donating the vanity if it’s in good condition! I can’t stand watching people smash up their stuff just because it seems “fun”.
Great video!
Thank for this video. Doing this myself as single mom and was feeling overwhelmed until I watched you walk through it!!!
I especially like the way you break the process down into easy-to-understand steps. That is the sign of a great teacher. Thank you for the video. The listing of recommended tools is also quite helpful to amateur handymen like myself. I have subscribed because I believe I can learn a lot from you and your teaching method.
I love that you spoke to green uses when the vanity will come out intact (and also appreciate that you shared that it doesn't always go exactly as planned.) Clear and concise video. Thank you!
Having watch a lot of renovation videos, yours are by far the clearest and most easiest to understand. Thanks for doing these.
Hey Scott, thanks for your video. I was able to remove 3 caninets inside of a laundry room closet. The previous home owners had converted their garage to a kitchenette. Great step-by-step advice!
The mystery of vanity removal is solved! Thank you. Very clear, and concise.
Oh wow, thank you so much for walking through the steps and how to troubleshoot a little when things come up. I really like your approach and feel encouraged to try this now. Thank you!
Very clear and I appreciate the step-by-step concise explanation.
Thanks for the great video. Just bought a vanity and they wanted me to remove it. Was able to with your help. You are Great!
Happy to to help!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to remove my vanity and cabinet just from this. THANK YOU!!!
Great Scott this is good content! Remodeling our main level 1/2 bathroom so looking forward to the mirror and vanity top removal tips
Best of luck on the project and let me know if you have any question 👍
I enjoyed your video. Thought it was very thorough and gave me confident to try this myself! Thank you!
Great job on explaining you make it very easy. Thank you 😊 👍🏼
Excellent video. Old lady here doing it for herself :). Great explanation.
Great job taking on the project 🙌
Wow my bathroom is kinda set up like this! Thanks for the video
Thank you for the video...
I will be rewatching this a few times for a reference.
Thanks for sharing Great angles make it easy to.learn
Great job!
wow, very helpful! thanks!
Thank you Scott! Our free-standing bathroom cabinet is caulked to the marmoleum floor on the bathtub side (for water protection). This type of flooring is not cheap. Protective rubber trim on the base of the cabinet is glued to the floor and the cabinet. We want to move this cabinet into another bathroom but how to get the caulking and rubber molding glue off the floor esp without damaging expensive floor? Also, it's the anxiety if the dry wall behind the cabinet will get damaged in order to remove the cabinet ($$$)=a much larger job than intended. So then you're like, maybe just buy a new cabinet and install. How does it pencil out financially? Super helpful video. Eased some of our remodeling anxiety for sure. Thank you.
Don't worry about the drywall BEHIND the cabinet if it won't show. If it will, there are other videos to teach drywall repair. You've got this!
Thank you so much for sharing. Will you please demonstrate how to replace bathroom floor tile, and how to measure properly - including installing around a toilet. Also, to speak on what is the best type of floor tile to use in a bathroom. I am a new subscriber, so I don't know if the above are things you have spoke on already. Thank you;
Hi Tyni, thanks for the suggestion. Are you wanting to put down ceramic tile? Have you looked at Vinyl Plank or Vinyl Tiles? There are a ton of different options now days and here is a video of glue down Vinyl Plank ruclips.net/video/ZYamrYUfF5U/видео.html
Thank you for the clear explanation. How would this process differ if my vanity top is 4x4 tile with a tiled in backsplash as well. Our big mirror may have a bracket on top of backsplash tile. Can I remove vanity without taking mirror down?
Great video. I just wanted to thank you for mentioning that if you aren't going to reuse the intact vanity for yourself, one option is to donate it to an organization like Habitat for Humanity. Great job, and once again, thank you.
this makes me excited to start my project
Best of luck!
thanks so much!
Thabks for making it look easy. I e decided im still not ready to do this alone 😂
Awesome
I am rebuilding and will have space for a master bath but not the appliances. Then it hit me 🤔 💡 , I can salvage my bathroom appliances b4 the tear down. My vanity top, sink & Fossett is new and my toilet is in really good condition.
All I would have to do is get a standalone tub . Thanks for this. ❤
Your Awesome save me some money get my kids to work
How do we convert a double sink to a single sink when both sinks have their own plumbing behind the drywall? Part of the space from one of the sinks will be showing. What do we do with these lines/plumbing???
This is a very helpful video and almost an exact duplicate of the job in my home that I'm about to tackle. QUESTION: What was it that prevented you from from pulling the vanity out without breaking it down? I'd like to be prepared if that happens to me. Thanks!
I broke it down just so it was easier to take out as this was in a Condo and I had to navigate some stairs. Best of luck on the project 👍
@@EverydayHomeRepairs Funny. My job is also in a second floor condo. I guess I better be ready! Thank you.
It looked like it was stuck to the back or side wall somehow, maybe attached in places that weren’t obvious until the front and left side were removed.
What if I don't want a new vanity? I mean as far as plumbing? How can I permanently close off the water?
Thanks so much, super helpful! Can you shine some light on how to prepare the exposed brow paper drywall in order to paint?
Good idea for donating!
Thanks for the video. What tool did you use to remove the water line covers that are between the back of the vanity and the end of the water line valves? I assumed you used some type of snipping tool to cut them in order to remove them?
aviation snips
Appreciate your video. If I have the elliptical faucet valves inside the vanity, do I simply cut holes in the back of the vanity in order to pull it towards me over the valves?
Hey Thomas, yeah that will work for removal of the vanity. Then, depending on the new vanity you might need to remove the water shutoff valves. If you get a vanity without a back then you won’t have to worry about removing the valves but hopefully the wall is in good shape since it will be much more visible. Best of luck!
My water lines come up from the floor, not through back, and it appears that the base is caulked into the tile. How do I remove the base with the water lines through the floor, and do I still just wiggle out the base from the floor after cutting any caulk on the bottom?
How would I handle this if I have a heating vent under the vanity cabinet, does that affect what kind of vanity I purchase also?
My vanity is 36" and between two walls. Would the same process apply or is there more to it when the vanity is boxed in?
Thanks for an awesome video!
Wish there were an answer to this. We got finishing trim to remove, as well..
New subscriber who is thinking of changing our master vanity. I’m trying to learn first. What if I go to try to lift the countertop, and it IS stuck with silicon? What then would I do?
We got lucky (for us viewers that is, lol) that your first strategy to remove the vanity box wasn’t successful, bec that way I got to learn thru your trial and error. I learned from you as you went through the trial and error thought process. Thank you
One thing I’m worried about is if I get the vanity out, but the tiles doesn’t go all the way to the drywall (under the vanity I’m removing). Will that make it into just a horrid DIY experience? We have very nice tile floor carefully picked for its color schematics and not easy to match. I worry I’ll make a big problem if I remove the vanity and find the tiles stopped at the toe kick. What’s been your experience?
Hey Jessica, good question about the tile. If you look closely to where the tile meets the vanity does it seem like the tile continues on under the vanity or the vanity is sitting on the subfloor and the tile goes up to the vanity. I would say the majority of the time tile would go up to the vanity but just depends on the installer.
Since I didn't see the question, my sink does have shutoffs. How do I remove those in order to remove the rest?
I am looking at your links for tools, but trying to find the chisel you used to pry off the backsplash. The chisel link you listed is from something else. Thanks.
Need help with slanted very old vanity that has tiles around it
Do you have a video of installing the new vanity cabinetry and sink? I'm doing research on this for an old 70s style.
Hey Daniel, sorry at this time I do not. I am sure this will be one coming in the future but at least a couple months out. Best of luck with the project!
@@EverydayHomeRepairs that's ok. Appreciate the response. It's interesting upgrading a 70s home as some things don't comply with current standards.
I have thought about paying someone to remove my old vanity, and install a new one. I know there are a lot of variables, but if I paid a handyman or some other professional to do this, I am wondering about how much they would charge me if I had the new vanity already in the house ready to be put into place? In this video that you made, let's say this wasn't your house, and someone paid you to remove that, and install a new vanity start to finish, including repairing any scuffs/minor nicks to the drywall, how much money would you charge them approximately?
Wow, there are places that don't have those mirrors glued to the wall? I've never met on that just came off the wall cleanly like that.
Great video, thanks.
I am removing one with 1 sink and replacing it with 2 sinks.
Do I need to remove a piece of sheet rock wall to do the plumbing or it can be done outside wall?
Same question for the pvc drain pipe.
Please advise.
Nice video on removing an old vanity. Now I need a video on how to install the new vanity. I subscribed to your channel but haven’t found a video showing the install. Am I just missing it or do you have one?
Just reverse the process
basically you do the steps in reverse
I really don’t want to remove the sink I just want to remove the cabinets because the wood got moldy…is their away do doing it without removing the sink??..
Great content thank you, now just need to install video lol
Am I the only one who enjoyed the p trap removal music? It felt like an 80s movie interlude
So how do you feel about vanities from Ikea? The vanity I'm thinking of is free floating. Any special way I should secure it to the wall?
IKEA cabinets usually look good but I prefer vanities with solid plywood boxes opposed to pressed sawdust and glue. The floating cabinets need to be secured to studs to ensure a secure hold and might even come with a special bracket to carry the weight.
Can you remove the vanity top without removing the mirror?
yes
Did the mirror magically disappear
Straight to the dumpster 👍
Who would install a faucet without shut offs. I’ve never seen that.
I haven't seen this in many homes but this entire condo was missing shutoffs
What’s the name of the tool at 3:15?
Hi
