I was thinking the same thing, not protecting the floor or that wallpaper ay ay ay

The best solution is to cut the bathroom door frame, then raise the house and re-pour the foundation and shift the house over 4". Then make a 4" frame and nail it to the bathroom door frame to reattach the bathroom to the house.

@@dosgos They look great but people find out what's wrong with them when plumbing repair is needed. It is damn near impossible to work on the plumbing without removing the entire pedestal. Its why plumbers hate working on them and never buy them for their own house. They will charge double for labor to repair problems with pedestal sinks. More labor.

Hi Steve, a great job, as ever. But it could have been worse - what if the bathroom door had been closed before you put in the pedestal..?😆

Steve's working again yall!!!!

Wallpaper is no problem even if the jamb is moved over- could cover the bare strip where there's no wallpaper with a piece of wood molding. I like that wallpaper and the sink!

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍

Where do You store extra toilet paper with a Sink like that?

Put two pedestals in my house - yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment. Gotta use the chrome plated supplies - one bath had brass fixtures, and finding brass stops and brass supplies wasn't easy (Amazon, I think). I like more support in the wall than just those screw anchors in drywall, though it seems like Steve's install might have had plaster? Seems like the material might have crumbled if it was, though. Anyway, I use those toggles with the plastic straps where I can't hit wood (one of the installs was where I finished my basement and was able to put support in the wall at the right height, and so I just went in with lags and washers with rubber washers against the porcelain so I wasn't as worried about cracking the sink). And oh yeah Steve, you are 100X the plumber I am no doubt, but I will leave this suggestion for the waste: Glue the trap adapter to the PVC up against the wall so it's pretty much flush but just proud enough to get your fingers or water pump pliers on it to tighten- joint in the wall, but threads sticking out. Then just come out of the trap adapter with chrome-plated brass waste and you don't have to dick with that chrome cover and all. Box escutcheon like you have there will cover the plastic trap adapter nut. Looks cleaner and installs easier. In my case, had tile floors so couldn't screw down into them without drilling through that, so I just put down a good layer of silicone to keep the pedestal from moving on the floor.

Your right pedestal sinks suck but generally good $$ I always set sink on pedestal first and check fitment when close to a door. Cheaper for her to get a smaller pedestal sink. Getting off that funky drain cover will be the issue. Brave man soldering with out protecting floor or walls😮. Would be interesting to know what was the final outcome. Loved. The only guys who don't get leaks are the ones that ain't plumbing.

Very nice job, Steve. Thanks for bringin us along.

you are so right. nothing but quality here. where is all that quality made?

Steven, I was feeling your pain on this one! I was admiring the nice job you did with those supply tubes, and then boom! The door! I hope she never has a clogged up drain on that thing! The carpenter should have a good laugh, and tell her she should always measure twice and cut once!

Masterful job Steve! Well done!

That was a great install, using the tubes instead of flexible hose was brilliant. Did perfect offsets too.

Wow talk about a hernia maker! Notch the door then it'll close! Another great job!!!

Gotta love the old school supply lines!

allot of times I use silicone between the top sink and the pedestal and depending on the floor sometimes the floor as well I'll silicone the bottom of the pedestal to the floor. it holds it together like glue especially the top and prevents the squeaking noise when leaned on

Oh man, that sucks. Such beautiful plumbing work with lots of measuring, installing the fancy chrome covered drain and supply lines and then the whole sink is too big to close the door. I feel for you, Steven! Could have been determined ahead of starting the plumbing by setting the new sink down on the floor. I have been involved in similar projects before. Clients supplied unsuitable stuff and then I had to redo everything. You don't want to question the client, but they are usually clueless, so you need to think it all the way through for them even before starting.

That floor took a beating all the tools and fittings you threw directly on floor. I guess thats what they get for a crap pedestal sink to install. What do you charge to have 1 put in?

Hello Steve!

hilarious, great vid steve!

The door 🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

On the old pedestal sink in my bathroom, the leg sits on the floor without an anchor, and the sink itself is siliconed to the wall without anchors.

I’ve been a plumber in Middleboro area for 35 years,pedestal sinks are the worst. Have nightmares the day before&after installing a pedestal.

Steve is the MASTER with the torch and grinder!!!

Maybe the Carpenter can cut out a notch on the door so it will close and leave it at that.

I like putting dope on the tail pieces too when you wipe it clean gives a very nice look.

That was like a surprise ending to a good movie! I never saw that coming.

Cheapest solution, put an accordion door in and store the old door away in case she goes to a different sink in the future

Install a pocket door, or a curtain door.

Howdy Steve and Miss Molly

Who roughed in the plumbing? They obviously didn't co-ordinate things with the homeowner. Or the homeowner didn't measure things out before buying that sink. Please, do not start playing with the door. Always correct the original problem without creating a new one. Good luck, Steve.

I agree ... bottom line is, that beauty has gotta go and be replaced with sink one size smaller. customer gets to pay twice for two sinks and two installs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Steven, what you hate more, pedestals or being married?

Ya I'd shift the sink over

best way to install a pedestal is install the faucet and tailpiece. Then silicone the sink to the pedestal and wait 24 hours for the silicone to dry. Next, locate the best spot for the pedestal and then plumb the supply and drain to it. sometimes you need to offset the supplies and waste because the homeowner doesnt consider three dimensional thought while purchasing.

Should have just notched the door to clear the sink and sent her a bill for doing that.

Pocket door needed

You were able to shift the bowl out maybe slide the pedestal to the right if at all possible. 😅

The only thing to do is get a refund on that sink and have Steve install a smaller one. More abusing Steve with a new smaller pedistal sink lol

Before doing any drastic mods on the door or frame, maybe look for a round basin, at least the sharp corner will be out of the way.

Nothing but quality,😅

I just replaced hardware from a corroded wall drain. What was a bargain, I bought a universal repair kit for under 20 dollars. I had to install a rubberized adapter on the wall outlet using pipe clamps. The problem I encountered, the included pipe was too long, I had to hack it off at the bend before everything would fit correctly. It is not pretty but it works.

Steve, I come back from the future.... wait till you get a load out of that toilet!

Move the sink to the right….make $$$

Have one inmy half bath can't wait to replace it.

My left screw went right into the vent pipe and it’s still there ! Kohler has a smaller sink that uses the same pedestal. I change my 27” to the smaller 24” one after ten years. Move the door frame,lol, pissed myself again.

Cabinets they sell are cheap chipboard crap, and inevitably water gets in some way and runs the inside, there's very little space inside to put anything anyway when the plumbing is all in it. Pedestal sink looks best even though it more of a challenge to install.

I hate pedestal, sinks, and from the end of your last video, it looked as if the pedestal came far enough into the room that it might’ve affected the door closing?

I’m not giving away the spoiler alert but the ending will have you rolling…

I didn't know you could to an inside job on a joint. WTH, did I just say? lol Thanks for another day Steve.

Change the top from a 27 inch to a 24 inch top.😄

A bi-fold door (same door ripped and hinged, easiest) OR simply shift sink 1-2 inches to right. (there will be a modification on drain tube but not to difficult) door closing radius should just miss sink

Wow. Crazy install. What a f'ck story, ey? Steve L has amazing patience with those hard to do installs.

I made my comment about the door too soon and after seeing some of the comments, I realize that it was an issue… Luckily, none of it is your fault, which is great

Move the sink over to the right by one inch …..easier to do that…..most likely there is some wiggle room…..on the trap…

Could they reverse which way the door opens. Either make it open out or change the side the hinges are on? Wow!

Are you kidding me? Wallpaper is not coming back in style. From the pattern, it looks like something that has been stored in her basement for about 25 years.

In the end, and after all that work, that extremely busy and loud wallpaper ruins the appearance of that sleek sink and drowns it out from being a focal point. You can hardly pick the sink out amongst all the wall noise.

I'd only put a pedestal sink in a Victorian style house, otherwise a cabinet sink is much more practical.

I would have started the wall paper on fire

Buy a smaller sink and go through all that $hit again! What a ball buster!
