today we're going to show you how easy itis to really transform your bathroom in just a weekend. in this series of three videos, we'll installthe spacious new vanity, the stylish new top, sink and faucet and upgrade our vanity lighting. and we'll do it all with just a few basictools and a little know-how. as you can see we've already removed the existingvanity and mirror and it really wasn't difficult at all. for more information on how we did this, pleasevisit homedepot.com/easybathupdates. so now it's time for us to start creatingour dream bathroom.
let's get started. now some vanities are designed to be mountedto the wall with screws, but today we're installing a freestanding vanity cabinet. for this part, you'll probably need some help. now we're going to line the new vanity upagainst the wall to make sure we covered the old vanity's footprint. otherwise we'll have to repair or paintany exposed areas. if space allows, think about getting a largervanity than the one you had. it will give you more storage and counterspace.
okay, now we're going to dry fit the vanitytop and sink onto the cabinet to make sure the drain pipes will line up with the existingplumbing lines coming from the wall. once you have everything positioned the wayyou want it, remove the vanity top and set it on saw-horses. this will make installing the faucet in ournext step a lot easier. check that the cabinet is level and shim ifneeded. if you'd like more detailed information onany of the steps in our bathroom makeover series, please visit homedepot.com/easybathupdates.
