Omg thank you so much you're saving me so much money right now.

To mount the hanger bolts just use the double nut method. You put both nuts on one hanger bolt. The outer nut will tighen onto the inner. Then just a wrench and bolt them into the wall and just unscrew the nuts and use for the other bolt.

great video...not trying to be gender biased but i like watching DIY videos by women because not all women have spouses, partners or want to hire someone when trying to do house stuff..unless it's electrical.I won't even try to attempt anything involving electric...I am trying to install a laundry sink which had the same idea albeit the wall mount faucet...

Are the bolts strong enough o hold this sink? My plumber says he needs a bracket to anchor the sink, in addition to the bolts.

@TheUnprofessional

The bolts have been totally fine, even after 4 years. And my son puts his full body weight on it despite my warnings that it may not hold. With that said, I’d trust your plumber and go with the brackets. I’m definitely not an expert 😅.

why are the hot and cold intake pipes crossed? would be great if we could get some links to suggested plumbing parts. Which parts have to match the exact sink or faucet, and which parts are standard fittings you could find anywhere?

Dad looks patient. Lol.

This is awesome! Great work!

Curious, I bought a similar sink recently and the stud and screw equipment to mount it said it was for masonry. I'm mounting into a stud block in the wall. Do you think I'll need a different type of bracket to mount the thing (not supplied). Sorry for the random question.

@TheUnprofessional

5 жыл бұрын

Masonry screws tend to work ok in wood but not the other way around. With that said, I’d still probably play it safe and get new hardware. It’s cheaper than replacing a broken sink. Good luck!!

when you are drilling tiles you could use a specific tile drill, you'd still need to put masking tape to stop the bit slipping around, but drill bits, hammers and tiles are not a great combination.

@TheUnprofessional

Hammers and tile don’t sound like a good combo now that I think about it 😆. Fortunately though, it worked out just fine for me.

I have a similar space in our dormer house where I’m putting in a bathroom with shower. Problem is putting in shower doors without having them custom made. What doors are on your shower ? Sloping roof is the problem.

@TheUnprofessional

3 жыл бұрын

Yes that is a challenge. I put up a wire across the top and cut a shower curtain to account for the angle. Then I put a hook where the 90 degree meets the slope and made a hole in the curtain to attach it. It’s not the best solution and I plan to get glass cut eventually. Good luck!

what type of crews did you use to mount the sink on the wall ? are they coming with the sink when you buy it or you have to buy them seperate?

@TheUnprofessional

I used hanger bolts and bought them separately. I don’t recall if the sink came with hanging hardware, but I feel like it didn’t. Thanks for watching!

Pretty sure for anyone in the US that is watching this: she used a "Bottle Trap" which definitely looks better. BUT does not meet plumbing code in the US. It shouldn't be an issue unless you're thinking of selling the house.

What’s the advantage of plugging the stinky drain pipe with a plastic bag as opposed to a rag or a shirt? Do they have plugs to buy for that at a Home Depot? I can’t fix the bathroom sink until next week-want to prevent smells!

I had a bag in for a few days to keep the smells at bay and it was fine for me. It might be worth checking a plumbing specific website if you’re concerned about gasses coming up. HomeDepot does sell covers that should create a better seal. If you start noticing a strong smell, I’d definitely find a better plug, but that wasn’t an issue for me.

It’s angled in both. Tucked right into the knee wall. One side (the door side) is straight so perhaps that is what you’re seeing.
