Bathroom sink upgrade to vessel sink

  By

Bathroom sink upgrade to vessel sink was a first for me, I had picked up from an auction the faucet ($5) then the vessel sink ($79). Needing a 31″ x 20″ flat counter top I decided to make my own using leftover plywood and some leftover flooring which did not have a pad attached and I used wood glue then clamped it overnight before drilling the drain and faucet holes..

With all the options out there this counter top was completed for less than $90 which included a longer drain pipe since the sink drawn was now at the counter. I stayed away from granite or anything solid surface due to the 2 holes I needed to drill, plus this is not a very big space, I looked at some YouTube ideas that were decent, including an old desk and small dresser.

The old sink was built with a counter top and back splash, I plan on using wall tile as the fiberglass 1980’s tub/shower is on my list to replace, I think I can replace the tub and tile the walls in less than 11 days, just 10 days more than the ads I see on TV.

Den Stairs Falling Apart

  By

The Den Stairs Falling Apart at the back door leading to the den. We stopped using this door some time ago, the wood was rotting and the sagging was bad. The other problem was the ‘Landing’ area dipped downwards and was so short you could not stand on it and hold the storm door open.

The other door off the kitchen was the go to door for a long time even if you were in the den you would walk through the dining room and into the kitchen then out that door. It’s still taking time for us and the dogs to get use to having this door working without fear of falling. I still have to paint and add a small railing to the steps but the heat has slowed me down.

On another note, I used wood on the landing that was leftover wood from the guest house flooring, that flooring was ripped up when the guest house floor was it was redone. You can see guest house work here.
