I love it, when he gives little side snippets you know he is speaking from experience.
@@jumpinjaxs this guy has the best diy videos.
I know I would ! I am following my guy around telling him what I need him to do to fix my stuff to my liking!
I like how thorough you are in explaining things. You offer insight into how to think about approaching a project, like how to confirm you have found a stud, making sure drawers won't scrape the drywall, and so on. These are things that are really easily overlooked by the casual DIYer. A lot of people who post videos just show you what they do, but don't explain what they're thinking or special considerations they've taken into account.
thanks ,we try our best

Just wanted to say thank you for doing this video. My home was cheaply built and all my kitchen cabinets were so warped I could put my whole hand behind the cabinet and it was still attached to the wall. After the repair, I also noticed my bathroom vanities both in the master bedroom and guest are pulling away from the wall. I was going to do the same repair so I can sell the house but totally did not think about water lines behind the wall. Wow you saved me. I can believe that people or companies do not care about their own quality of work. I am not a repair person but was able to do it myself thanks to folks like you. Thanks again for all your effort in putting out your videos. Peace, Reese
I wish I could find a craftsman with half your skill level and attention to detail but I don’t think many exist anymore.
Perfect timing on this upload as I am re doing my bathroom for the first time.
Awesome point about adding the extra piece between the vanity and the wall. I did not think of that before. When finding the studs it may be beneficial to point out that older houses don’t necessarily have evenly spaced studs. My house was built in 66 and when we gutted the kitchen we saw there was no rhyme or reason to where the studs were.
That is what happens sometimes, generally though they will be 16" or 24" O.C.
Beautiful. Love your attention to detail in this all too "that's-close-enough" world. Cheers!
I used this video to help me install a vanity last weekend.
Your tutorial was extremely helpful.
Thank you!!
Thank you very much for spending time to teach us how to do this. Your talk and teaching are very easy to follow.
Shannon is JACK OF ALL TRADES at its best, he's definitely my choice of renovator,too bad he doesn't live in my area.
👍🏼Your videos are the best man! I'm a new homeowner and every project I've done you have helped teach me.
Very good video, Shannon, and I appreciate your attention to detail. I try to work that way too as a professional painting contractor and it certainly makes a difference when you take your time and do the job right.
Thanks so much for helping to make my bathroom renovations easier. Many blessings to you.
To install or adjust some of those European hinges,they recommend special screwdriver."Blum",recommends screwdriver with blade tip #2 "Pozidriv".It looks almost like #2"Phillips blade tip,but it's different.I got mine from "Lee Valley".
Your cleat feature was exactly what I am thinking of doing this weekend so that I have room to center my top left-to-right. Now that I saw you incorporate this I will go ahead and do the same. Excellent videos---I'm subscribed! Thank you!
Preparing for an installation that is very similar so found the tip on the cleat very useful. Thanks for a fine video. Look forward to viewing the top installation.
Hey Shannon thanks for all the videos you provide for us viewers....VERY HELPFUL MAN...
JUST WANNA SHOWMY SUPPORT BRO...THANKS
Shannon thank you . I seen this just in time as I never took into consideration that the vanity drawers would hit the moulding on the doorway . Was going to do a trial run with a 1/2 cleat . That will only give me a 1/2 overhang with the counter top on the exposed side , but hopefully it looks ok
Great video, thanks for posting!
Thanks Shannon, you're a great Carpenter!
man shannon is awesome. So detailed with everything
Thanks for the tips, especially not driving screws blindly into a wall that might have plumbing in it. I think my up and down stairs bath share some plumbing, so I'll be taking extra care when installing a new vanity that I have coming in my downstairs bath so as not to hit anything. Thanks again.
Man that vanity is close to the toilets great video! Thanks :)
That's what I was thinking.
As always great video!! Thank you for sharing.
I love your videos! Keep it up!
Thank you, Sir! God bless you.
Great job! Anywhere the inside of that cabinet touches the wall should get a bead of caulk. That will keep critters from making a home.
How bad are your critters? I guess if you live where that is a problem its a good idea.
Very helpful video. Esp re the hinges. Thank you!
Thank you for the videos!
Great job.
Easy to understand and very logical.
Glad you liked it
Nice job, thanks for the video.
great job as always!!
I like how you talk about or is that aboot, the number of considerations before actually installing the vanity unit, such as the overhang of the counter top and marking for studs etc... P.S, when will you finally convert too the more "logical" metric system. Cheers
Excellent video. Thank you
Nice video. Thanks
I'd hire you in a New York Second! Clear, honest, no BS...just a straightforward effective presentation. 9/10 stars!
Patrick Hebert just curious why not 10/10?!? :)
slightly backhanded lol
@@muzic4lyfe2005 OK. 10/10. My thinking was that if graded 10/10 - one might think "no need to improve - Damn I'm Good!". I know that would never be you, its just my habit to leave room to improve - to acquire the carrot that's JUST out of reach.
Good Health to you!
Great info, a little difficult to hear at times, but nice and detailed explanation! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Wow, great vid. Helped me.
Awesome video man!
Great video thank you!
Nice video... being in the trade over here in the UK they really need to start stocking adjustable legs on these... even over here! Kitchen units in the uk come with adjustable legs but not really bathroom stuff! 🤔. Thanks. Marc.
Thanks. Daughter is installing a corner cabinet in our bathroom and the installers who built our off frame modular decided to cut a hole in the drywall for the countertop to sink into rather than in stall a cleat/filler/spacer on the left. How insane. This will be simpler. Filling the hole in the wall, not so much.
Excellent video, good detailed.
Thanks
It helps to have the old drill holes at the studs from the old vanity. You could just drill along there.
Nice work
great job..
Give measurements and how to make the hole for the water lines
Hi Shannon my vanity looks similar to yours. my end panel is damaged is there a way to remove the panel and replace with another one?
THAT'S VERY USEFUL
Thank you !
Loved the video
What is the name of that paint color on the wall?
Thanks. True pro.
Thanks. God bless.
Im contemplating removing the corner round and baseboard prior to replacing the old cabinet. Neither sits flush to the floor, tons of dirt & lint along the walls. Any preference or suggestions
how did you figure out the size cleat to make?
hi shannon,
Thanks for a great video! You were very fortunate that the floors and walls were true... unfortunately for me, my vanity when resting on the bathroom tiles is about a 1/2-inch away from the drywall at the top. Could you share how I should remedy this situation? Thanks again.
There are a couple options for you . please come to my forum and I can explain both. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Real pro thanks man
good stuff.. lots of know how and detailed awareness.. now if i wanted to BE DOUBLE SURE i am getting a stud behind the wall .. can i use a metal detector to go north and south to pick up the drywall screws ?
A metal detector would give too broad of a range in width I believe. Purchase a stud finder.
very well
video. muito bom...
You really do excellent videos. I am sure you get lots of advice about making shorter, faster paced videos (with irritating background music), as that seems to be all the rage, but there are people who want a thorough presentation with lots of details instead of entertainment. Please do more!
Another great video. Is this the same bathroom that you did the ditra heated floor on. I assume was later on cause the floor looks different. Did you remove tile from under this cabinet if it is the same bathroom when you installed the new tile?
This bathroom was way previous and different house.
Thanks for sharing. We had a house fire that destroyed our kitchen, but smoke damaged the rest of the house too. It required renovations, including our small ensuite. I noticed the calking coming off on the vanity counter that runs along the side of the wall last, so we plan on replacing eith new calkin. However, I noticed this afternoon the cabinet has a gap along the side where the top of the drawers are, along the same wall. Not sure why this is, but there was calking there too. I'm worried they were installed incorrectly or not secured properly, and if we need to fix, this video is helpful. We had a horrible time, as the restoration company's subcontractors were terrible! We hired our own contractor for the post clean-up, but there are still some questionable things we've since discovered.
you rock!!!
This guy rocks
You didn't have to scribe the cleat you added to the left side, or the back right edge of the vanity. That's some good sheetrocking and taping. The studs looked new in that room but were they? I redid a tub surround once and didn't pay close attention to the existing variance in the rough sawn studs (they should have been furred out slightly) I didn't notice until I'd screwed the backer board on that I had a slight valley in the wall (the craftsman 60 years ago knew enough to watch how deep they set their nails to make sure the wall was flat. Me and my 40 horse screw gun just drove them home). Nice thing about learning by mistakes, you don't often do them twice.
Is the drawer that's off a little, square? Could just be debris behind the drawer face and the drawer box too. If not you could drop that odd one down to the bottom, where it wouldn't be as noticeable.
No this was a" retro" 70s framing job but things were actually pretty straight and plumb. Gotta get lucky once and awhile! LOL
Did you need a 15 inch clearance from the center of the toilet to the cabinet wall? I’m selling my house and replaced my 28” cabinet with a 31” but I’m worried about the city code
I’m sure it no longer applies to you, but for anyone else wondering, yes code says 15” from any nearby fixtures to the center of the toilet.
Can i share your video to my facebook and tweet? A lot of my clients need it
Share this link of my entire channel to your customers please.

Why didn't you put scribe to hide any gaps between the vanity and the wall?
I am redoing my bathroom. On new flooring, should I also put new flooring under the new vanity cabinet too or set it on the wonder board?
Some people suggest not to so I don't have to remove the vanity if the floor needs to be replaced in the future.
You could do it either way but I usually just run the flooring to the cabinet ,not under it
I’m having the same issue with my left side on the vanity I want to get. I don’t want a half I NB gap between the wall on the side. Could you also just offset the counter top that half inch to make the left side flush with the edge of the vanity and have a 1” overhang on the right side?
You could most of the time as long as any drawers against the wall dont hit the wall when opening.
i'm going to let the wife watch this video, it something that she's going to want to do.Great Video thanks Shannon.
Curious how to attached that spacer to the left side of the cabinet? Thanks...
Brad nails
what stain is this - what wood is this, i have same cabinets in washroom and now they are a bit water damage and have white spot on them and are also peeling,, What method i should use to repair them,, please guide ,
How did you attach the filler cleat to the vanity? Did you use wood glue or did you screw it in?
brad nails
Where did you get the filler strip? Does it go all the way to the floor or just to the top of the toe kick?
Hi, do you have any recommendation on how to install/connect a 36 inch knee drawer between a cabinet and a wall? My knee drawer looks like this wholesalecabinets.us/media/catalog/category/vkd_1.jpg. On one side there will be a cabinet and the other side will be a wall.
What do you do if the pipes are coming out of the back of the wall in the center of the vanity and there are drawers that are in the same space as the pipes?
Probably have to get a different design of vanity
I’d run a 2x4 on the wall and on the opposite side if installing heavy counter top like granite…
I have a porcelain vanity top that just sits on top of the cabinet with no holes to attach to the wall to make it secure. What can I use to secure it to the wall? I have secured the cabinet. Thank you
Maureen Maher Latex silicone is the usual method of mounting vanity sinks. Just run a bead of silicone on the vanity top and CAREFULLY set the sink in place. It's slow to dry, about 24 hours, so you have plenty of time to adjust it's position! Cheers
Can you install a vanity directly to a bathroom floor (concrete) in a basement? Or do you need some type of underlayment?
You can but if its an older home I would either install the flooring first or install it on some of those plastic furniture stick pin feet to keep it off the concrete
@@HouseImprovements Yes, this is an older home. Also, the concrete was torn out to make room for new plumbing so there is now fresh concrete down. I was thinking of flooring first. I hope to mitigate any moisture wicking into the cabinet. Thank you for your advice, this was very helpful...
Is there a rule or standard for water lines... I've seen both vanity and toilet water coming up through floor like this video and lots of videos where the water lines are out through wall? Which is correct and does it matter?
Does not matter. I live in a cold climate so we would not bring water up through an exterior wall to prevent freezing.
@@HouseImprovements thanks for the reply that probably explains it we are in south texas. I had 2 estimates on a job first guy said he would go through walla when he explained what he was doing. The guy I ended up hiring was plumber back when he lived in NJ now lives here and he went through floor... thanks again always enjoy your videos!
My vanity sits in the corner of my bathroom. I want to turn the vanity 90 degrees but don't want to move the supply lines and drain. Is it acceptable to route the supply lines and drain from the side of the vanity?
Sure , make sure they do not interfere with drawers and such.
You checked the vanity several times for being level left to right and plumb. Why did you not check the level front to back?
generally if its fitting the back wall fine its good. If its a little out that direction its not normally a big deal.
Where can you get a matching cleat wood?
Ivan bg If you bought it from a manufacture they will have it ,if it came from a big box store, they may have it.
Would they rot fast because its wood?lower part will be exposed to water on the floor
I guess if you have a leak in bathroom?
great as usual!@@
No washers when fixing to wall? Probably fine without...
Soo I see what you're talking aboot.
There is no back panel to this vanity. My vanity has a back panel and I will need to cut holes for the pipes coming out of the wall. I was hoping to see a video that included that step. Vanitys with no back panel don't look as good but are popular with installers because they are so easy to install. I suspect many installers just decide to leave the back panel out to make it easy for them.
does reversing those drawers fix that bulge or at least hide it...
E.X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T
Wow that toilet is pretty close to the sink. Won't pass in my town.
I enjoy your videos but I have to point out for the DIY viewers that you didn't check for level front-to-back.
+Pro1er He corrected himself and checked it at 9:31
+Nick Garcia Good catch, in my mind I'm thinking of checking the top of the cabinet but I guess if it's square you can also use the front.
The only people I take seriously have a mustache. That goes for women as well :)
We are a serious bunch!
Is this a northern accent?
Canadian
Definitely I don’t have the patience for the DIY projects... 😑
holy f'ing ads
Owner kind of went cheap. The door hinges can attached easily, but they’re not soft closing. It’s $1 more per hinge. Same with drawers, not soft closing. $1 more per slide rail. Finally, the height should support 3 drawers instead of 2 for 50% more shelve organization. Also, I now prefer 34” kitchen height height over historical bath height.
