It’s not all that much work to put into the kitchen; here’s a step-by-step guide and some tips and tricks to restore your kitchen sink and cabinetry. First, in an odd-sized area, there was a desk in it, and it required me to either merge the desk into a new order, or have some thing custom made. If you have an odd place, go into the sink or cabinet like I was then thinking about the project and figuring out what your options are. I decided to go with a smaller desk and use a longer counter for my sink and desk. The original sink cabinet was a single piece of metal 42 inches wide, the base with a single top down, also metal. It doesn’t fit your conventional desk or cabinet, probably for an apartment. The space I work in is 47 inches wide and I would keep a fairly regular 25 inch by high countertop and a 36 by 24 inch desk. I bought the rocker at a discount hardware store and just the oak paneling at a home improvement store. The whole beginning of this project was that I bought a scrap at a garage sale for $2 that was in excellent shape. The floor had a slightly dented corner, but he was ready to clean it if he couldn’t install it. I bought all the materials except for the part of the drain I need to install this once everything else is in place and I want to see how the drain goes down to the double sink. drain in the wall Here are the items I bought or already had;
Sink
Countertop
Chest
Waterproof
Clips hold down
Floor tiles
Faucet
Drain kit for double sink
Two hoses to attach the faucet to the shutoff valve
Burnt plumber
Kitchen caulk
Plastic for splash guards
Sticky glue
Before you start any project make sure you read through all the directions and understand everything you are going to do. You can also go to websites like Home Depot, Lowe’s or even Old House for more information on hardware and plumbing jobs. here they understand the instructions better. I had to get this advice from my boss to do this work. He was very glad that I should do this, as he had told me before and wanted it to be done. But if you do not make a lease to change anything without the permission of your landlord. He is so happy that he wants me to do it for the next camera in my doubles.
I took steps to replace the seat, drive and cabinet;
First, shut off the water in the sink and allow the faucet to drain. I had to install two shut-off valves that were not in the two water pipes so that I could close the pumps underneath in the future. If you have them, just block them now. If you don’t do this, it’s a good time to install some so that you have them for your convenience, so that you only close the sink when you’re working on it for the whole house. If you don’t have shutoff valves, then shut off the supply to the house and install some shutoff valves at the ends of the pipes. You can have a valve that fits into almost any fitting that you have under the sink or you can use an adapter. Ask at your hardware store or home improvement if you are not sure. A good idea I find very handy is to take a picture of your link and add it to your home improvement Make it right for you. If you use a digital camera, this works well.
Remove the faucet. Remove the faucet if you’re reusing yours, if you can’t leave it on and it’s a whole lot of fun. To remove the faucet you have to remove the hoses, then remove the two nuts holding the faucet to the sink. This desk is capable of being submerged and needs a stock or special tool. If you pull out the countertop and sink, just pull out the sink first and remove the faucet when it’s out.
Remove the drain from the bottom of the sink to the wall. Remove the drain connections and adapters up to the wall. When you go to remove them you will have a bucket under the fly to catch the water that is in it. There will be water; prevent the gas going up the drain line into the house. Pour this into a bucket and remove all the drain pieces. Set aside for future use, do not drain the water.
Remove the case and/or the cabinet. I could have split my desk, but it didn’t work when I took it off. I just had to pull it up and climb up, it was held in small shields that held the pump and the top of the box to the bottom. I thought that box was special. Many will not be like that. For the calculation that is given to the storage, it will be necessary to have some screws and remove them at the same time. Remove any ANISOCYCLE holding the cabinet to the floor or walls. Remove the clips from the sink screw driver if you want to reuse the sink or countertop and you want to get a countertop sink. They usually have a slotted rotary head to remove and turn counterclockwise to complete. Remove the sink and/or countertop and then the cabinet.
Prepare a new cabinet area. Scrape any old tile or gunk from the entire area. I had to remove the floor tiles as the bad ones had sunk in and replaced them with some new tiles that I glued into place. I didn’t take it any further than right on the desk. I will do this later as another project. You only need to put the tiles on the front that stick under the base of the cabinet. There is no use melting under the box that you will never see.
I installed the entire desktop before I installed it. This is something that is optional, but a very good idea if you have seen old boxes that are soaked with water over time a> . Then put the cabinet and come to the floor and the wall. Make sure you’ve thought this entire process out and are sure of what you want before you take the dreaded step of choosing a cabinet or worse, cutting and removing the counter. When I had a desk in it, I then put it in place. I was lucky and found a countertop that fit in my space. I would have used about an inch of false spacers on the sides, but this was not a problem. I was sure where I wanted the card and drew lines from underneath to underneath the lines where the cabinet is inside. This way when you pull down the counter and turn it over, you can see exactly where the pump can come out. If you buy a new label from a home improvement store, many times the company that made the pump will include it. template as part of the box or packaging to clear the cutout. Use this to cut the exact cutout you are making on the countertop. The instructions on the box or packaging will indicate how to use the formula. Using the template, draw your lines at the top of the box to make sure the pump will go in the right place to fit into the cabinet. If you’re using a dipper that doesn’t have a pattern, dip it over the bottom of the counter and drag it down. Use a label in one color to show where the bottom part of the pump should go. ANY OF THESE LINES DO NOT INTERCUT. For he cuts a sunk about a quarter of an inch and a half from this line on the inner side. Measure the lip sunk to the bank of the channel used to hold the rest on the countertop. This measurement will be how much inside the line you draw outside the edge of the pump. You should have two lines under the counters. You shall be one abroad, and let the remainder be yours in the mouth; the other is smaller, and the cutting line is yours. Drill the holes with a smaller drill bit, about 1/8 to 3/16 inch bit in the eight corners where the straight line cutting let yours begin to curve to the next side. Use these as a guide to mark the top of the counter and cut the top. Cut straight lines at the top, but have the machine cut all the way under the tip to avoid cutting off the countertop. Cut this using a circular saw or on a rotary saw with a cut piece. When you do that, make sure you don’t go all the way to the one line that sinks your bottom. Test if your label fits when you have a whole rectangle cut out for the label. If you need to cut something more, but not below the edge near the countertop line. Once it’s fit, make sure you can also install the sunken clips per the package directions. They may need a little extra room next to the channel and the end of the counter. Don’t cut the crap down just yet.
Place the countertop in the cabinet without the sink. Place the countertop where you want it and screw it to the desk, my desk had the plastic corners drilled to hold the countertop down. Make sure your screws don’t go too far through the countertop. Just measure the distance from the clip to the countertop and add less than the thickness of the countertop, use this for the maximum length of your screws. If you don’t have any screws that are short enough, you can just use longer ones, just add some length to the screws before pressing them into the cabinet for the countertop. Some cabinets can be held in any way so you need to get L brackets against the topazion to hold the box. Once the diction is in place and you press it tight in the hole you put it in the antistanza. Install the sink in the sink here, which is much easier when the sink isn’t in the cabinet. Just put the pipe through the holes and close it with nuts. Many gullies will have shoulder blades under them between the gully and the gully to prevent water from sinking into the caves. If your plumber doesn’t use it under the gutter or rotting or leaking, before fixing it. The clips for the sink go into the metal channel with the spikes on the wooden frame and the curved piece between the channel and the rock. You may also want to put a large ball of plumbers putty around the sink to prevent water from dripping into the cabinet from spilling onto the countertop later. They burst the blisters and make a long rope, which you put under the bottom of the sink all the way around. Once the seat is tight, remove the excess putty and put it in a container for reuse. Tighten some of the screws on the washer until they hold and several are filled around the washer. Then tighten all the snug as around the pump.
Install the drain. If the sink doesn’t come with the drains installed, you’ll need to install them first. It goes inside, and then continues in the bottom of the nut, with some plumbers inserting the burn between the sink and the recess. Pour the putty, and using a small spike around the insert, place the insert, and then tighten the nut tightly. Some putty will express and this is what you want. Remove excess scrap and place it in a container for use in other projects. It never dries up and is useful for a long time. Some exhaust inserts come with gaskets made of plastic or rubber if yours uses them instead of putty. Install the remaining sewer pipes. The trap will go below the trenches and under any T connecting will press both, if you install a double label. You may need to use some adapters or extensions if you change the insertion of your sink. They are not expensive and are handy to have around for future projects if you buy them and don’t need them. In the past, the draining of the faucet hoses to the faucet using Teflon tape or Teflon Leak end up in some non-gasket hoses or pipes. Tighten the nuts, and try the water, looking at the pine. If you experience a leak tighten it a little more or use some extra sealant by using white Teflon tape or stop the leak white.
Seal the stem of the basin. Press down the edges with the stem you want to seal before using the pump. Some people don’t like it, and that’s fine depending on the type of sink installed. Cheap sinks won’t have a very good lip on them to seal well and will probably leak if you don’t. When you press the grain around the label, pull and remove the excess with your finger and cloth or paper towels. I use water on my finger to get a nice plate. If you use a more efficient sink, you can set several times on the counter before the last time you settle. A beautiful lip can have a flat spot, especially if you use one of those fake fake stones that have a nice thick lip on them. With these you just invert the thing, and put it on the label, and then put the label on, then tighten it.
Once you have installed the label and are sure they are not leaking, you can paint or stain the cabinet if you want. You may wait a few days before putting things inside like waterproofer or any paint inside, it will be a little firm until the air boxes come out a bit.
