Old sink to new Cabinet
Tools used:
-Bosh screw gun/ circular saw
-Kreg rip-cut
-Bostitch nail gun
-Small square
First we need to take all the hardware, doors off and draws out. Then we will need to cut the horizontal supports. This will create a bigger opening.
Now I wanted to change the depth and height of the vanity. I'll do this on the circular saw with a Kreg guide.
After that is complete, I cut out where the 2x4 is going to go. This will add stability to the cabinet. I made sure to glue all new and existing wood.
I also added a 2x3 to the bottom for additional mounting support. I did reuse the 1/4" plywood that was on the back. I reglued and nailed it in place.
Preparation for paint:
I sanded the whole cabinet inside and out along with the doors. After the sanding was complete, I removed all the dust and taped the areas I didn't want to paint.
Paint and hang part 2:
I applied two coats of primer. I made sure to allow for dry time between coats. Finally applied the final coat. After it was dry, I was able to hang the vanity as a cabinet. Because it was a long cabinet, I added a cleat to the wall to assist the hanging process. Keep in mind that I predrilled all mounting holes and preinstalled the screws.
Now it is time to add holes for the shelf and mount the doors back on.
This was a great/cheap way to add more storage.
