[Leatherbarstools]

This gives great advice for changing a kitchen sink.

what do you do if your using the same garbage disposal.. do you need to get a new mounting bracket??

[jeffsond]

@m0nt3s04 no, just new gaskets at any hardware store

These are good with the new houses where you can turn off the water at the back. With the fancy power circiut fuse box etc... We bought a dishwasher and replacing the sink and its cabinet and adding the machine brings up problems. The water can only be turned off globally, for the entire house. We need to drain the pipes at the level of the kitchen at least. The waste water pipe doesn't have a screw and hangs out of the wall for 4", leaving an ugly gap behind the dishwasher....

@firsh As a homeowner, it's prudent to add shut-off valves to water areas. Hire a REAL PLUMBER, not a JACK-LEG PLUMBER! (no disrespect intended toward any plumber named Jack intended). The shut-off valves should allow water shut-off to the dishwasher, kitchen sink, & water tubing for fridge's ice & ice-water thru the door in case of leaks. Each bathroom/half-bath (we've got 2 bathrooms) should have shut-off values on toilets, sinks, & shower/tub areas. Then there's no fear of water damage.

Great tutorial. I used it in my blog on Hubpages - Johnny Parker

@anamerebephens thats what the sink clamps are for, so they will set the sink down closer to the countertop. if it is a issue about an unlevel countertop, you can apply a bead of silicon to the sides to waterproof it and wipe away any excess

[AnamereBephens]

What if the sink sides don't sit flush on the counter tops?

What is the cost for this?

[CaptainCocaine]

@Jorrellds Depends on what all you're replacing and with what quality, A sink basin can cost as little as $60 up to over $1,000. Faucet's are similar. Piping is pretty cheap; about $20-$50 should cover you depending on how many drains are in the sink. A typical replacement including sink, faucet and piping will run you $400-$750.

I found this to be very helpful, though they appear to have skipped the step of attaching the faucet, luckily I knew to do that first. I was able to install my new stainless steel kitchen by myself and it looks great! :) If I had to do it again, I would have a friend help place the sink simply because of the weight of the sink with the faucet and the awkwardness of handling the sink.

this is generic. It leaves a lot to be desired.

Too much advertising, good grief. Terrible video cause of that.

He's smiling because he works for Lowes and not Home Depot, or worse: 84 Lumber.

[hotheroe]

[imjustpassinthru]

They hired an out of work disc jockey to do this video. Lucky for Lowes they got a good one.
