little bucket on hand time to capture anything now that’s uncovered our pipings at the back so now i just need to unscrew our hoses and then we’ll cap it off now it’s a good little gratuity here to turn all the other taps in the house on to release residual sea and stres so less water floods out here it’s also a great idea to quickly label the pipes hot and cold to make sure you reconnect to your sound where precisely so i’ve got myself some strand strip here i’m just going to wrapping that around our pipes that are sticking out of the wall and then put on our caps now when you do buy your ceilings only make sure you’ve got the right sizing for your tubes next unscrew the frivolity specifies so we’re just about ready to remove our pride there’s one other racket we have to do that’s removing the silicone that’s holding the frivolity to the wall and more than likely you’ll have a bead of silicon around the base of your ostentation to the floor to do that you can either use a silicone removal tool or utility spear cool so i’m now ready to get rid of our aged pride we are currently do that i’m just going to wiggle that off the wall and merely hoist that over our waste pipe that’s coming up through the floor so this is my lovely brand-new egotism now i’ve also decided to go with a slightly wider frivolity i’ve checked and it’s going to fit in there quite nicely now before we knock on there’s a couple of key points to remember when installing one and that’s making sure that you get it at the redres elevation i’ve slapped together this little cradle to support the vanity so i can work alone now the standard height for a wall hung frivolity is 850 to 900 millimeters and if you are installing a vanity with a vessel basin on top it’s 950 millimeters to the top of that bowl okay so i now need to find out exactly where my secure targets are on this pride[ Music] okay as “youre seeing” our secure parts are going through these neat strong brackets now one on either side so what i’m going to do is get those measurements of exactly where they are to do that i’m just going to measure the exact extent of the vanity which is 900 millimeters so i’m just going to settled a hub string and then i’m just going to measure from that core order to the center of our depressions that’s just making sure that our holes are in precisely the same position it’s 382 and that’s 382 as well so the next thing i need to do is just get the summit from the top of our ego to the center of that puncture so that’s 45 millimeters and the high levels of my pride from the storey to the top of the frivolity is 870 ml but now i do have this little bit of an upstand on the back there so i need to get that meridian as well so that’s 878 millimeters now we need to go over to the wall and applied our elevation on the wall so now i’m just going to make our stature to the back of our egotism which was 878 so now we need to know exactly where in the office this sits now i’m going to utilize the aged pipes now the center of these pipings was the center of the age-old egotism so i really like that egotism even if they are our new one is wider it still sits in now comfortably so i’m going to get the center of those hoses and celebrate that center on our altitude okay from our middle label we can now mark the overall diameter of our frivolity so our ostentation is 900 millimeters so i’m just going to go 450 either area of that okay now that we’ve got our grade height of our arrogance we can now put on our determine locales so i’m just going to celebrate the spot from the centre of our opening which was 382 and the magnitude down from the priorities in the ostentation which was 45 millimeters i’m going to curve that so i know exactly where our pit is and i’m going to do the same on the other side and then i’ll use my stud finder to check for framing behind these choosing points to take the arrogance this will also identify any pipes or cables i need to avoid okay the good news is i don’t have any cables or tubes i’m going to hit when i got cut them to the wall the bad news is i don’t have any solid tying details so i’m going to have to remove a section of this wall timber to install some just before i crack into it we already know the exact width and high levels of our vanity so now from those distinguishes i’m going to come 50 ml in from all sides 50 mil down from the top and 50 ml up from the bottom of the vanity the reason i’m coming in on the edges is so that the hole i chipped once amended is still fully covered by the vanity just about to chop out our hole in the wall now there’s a few different ways we can go about this one i could use my practicality pierce with a straight border or i could use a hand experienced even but i’m going to use a multi implement and it’s also got a wool board blade on it now regardless what our stud finder says best rule says we’re only going to go the thickness of our wall committee in cases where there is something in there that our stud finder didn’t pick up[ Music] okay now that the walls open it’s a great time for the plumber to come in transfer the waste from the flooring into the wall now my hoses are in a great location simply check out to see if yours need moving now that the plumber’s been in positioned our garbage into the wall i can now put in all our solid deposit so we know exactly where those are because we’ve got our symbols on the wall so all i have to do is measure in between our studs that we’ve got within the wall to put in our solid secure so in my place i’ve got a solid stud top to bottom over here and likewise over on this back so now when i cut my nogs i’ve got something to fix into but in your place you’re just going to have to see exactly where your solid preparing targets are before you put your bows in one at 3 19. Sweet now that i’ve got our first couple of measurements i could go off and chipped those i’m using bugle jailers with my teach to fix these knobs in place so there’s no risk of damaging any hoses or plaster with the slip of a hammer i’m also going to cut and install solid sets along the leading edge of this gap for my brand-new section of wall timber to fix onto okay so all my solid fixtures are in to make my ostentation and likewise for my wall board now i’ve already gash my wall card and i’ve signal out for all our faults all i have to do is drill it and attach it to the wall now i’m using a loophole visualize to teach the holes for my tube labour take a look at how easy it is how to re-line a chamber for some tips on trimming and superseding wool board just before we introduced our wall committee to the wall what i’m going to do is just line the locating of exactly where our hose duty extends only to make sure that i don’t screw into it okay now this is also a great opportunity exactly to take a photograph of facets of everything in your wall before you cover it up and if you’re working on an external wall make sure you install building paper and isolation so what i’m doing now is i’m just adding got a couple of dobs of cement on that core stud merely i’m not going to add any of this wallboard cement where we’re going to settled our clamps so now let’s put in a thread so i’m just place in these plasterboard clamps approximately every 150 millimeters[ Music] and i’m position them on either side of the joint to make sure it’s nice and reassuring now it’s not bar regulations to actually stop that wall with some plaster but what i will do is just situated some sealant in there and then wipe away any excess okay i’m just going to start by label out all our aspects from our pipe is currently working on the wall onto the back of our arrogance so i can start drilling that out formerly i’ve differentiated its own position and diameter of my three pipes i’m just going to use this excavation checked to drill our holes what i’m going to do is just go so the tip of the instruct chip goes through and then i’m going to open up the cabinet and then drill from the other side if i was to drill the whole way from this side here it’s just going to blow the inside open and mutate instruct flecks for the smaller water pipe gaps and now i’ll move the frivolity around and instruct from the other side i’m just applying a opening receive fragment that’s about five millimeters bigger than the hull it just gives me a little bit to play with when i slip the egotism into lieu[ Music] so all i have to do now push that up against the wall and fix it into our brand-new solid fixings and then i’ll exactly slip my beginning out pop my vanity drawers back in and situate the top[ Music] okay so all the hard work’s done the vanity’s safely assured to the wall all i need to do now is get the plumber in connect all those bits up and then silicon across the top now there’s one other thing that we do have to silicon is the surface to the vanity i’m going to ensure that the plumber does that to finish the room off i need to repair the hole in the storey from our aged waste pipe in this case i’ll get the vinyl layer in and if you have tiles take a look at how easy as how to replace a end tile now if you’ve got a wooden tongue and groove floor with a opening in it i’m going to show you how to make a tapered wooden plug to fix it if you had a hole that’s anything bigger than about 90 100 millimeters then i would suggest that you trimmed your floorboards back on your joist position so now my situation i’ve got a 45 mil opening for where the hose came through the floor so i’m just going to square this pit so i’m going to use my jigsaw to do that and i’ve situated the counter now at about 5 to 10 degree angle so when i got cut the hole out all four areas will be diminished in right now that i’ve squared the hole in the flooring i need to cut a diminished push from a give floorboard to push the hole i’m employ my mitre realized to cut the angle but you could use a hand find in the same way okay pushes all part looking really good all i’ve got to do add a little bit of cement wring that in delightful and tighten so i’ve slashed this one or two mil bigger than the hole only until it persists up above our floorboard so we can plane and beach that off last-minute now when you articulated the plug in just make sure that the particle is going the same direction as your floorboards and we’ll just mash that in with a bit of a exhortation now i’ve just chip this little bit of a little of packer now to sit on top that’s just going to keep a little bit of pres on the floor you don’t have to do that if you don’t want it but i just want to make sure that that cement goes off nice and tighten in the hole okay so all we’ve got to do is just let that baked overnight okay take out our little packer right now as you can see that’s just sticking up a couple of millimeters so now you could use a loop sander or an orbital sander to kick that down level with the floor but what i’m going to do is just start it off with a hand plane you could use a block aircraft if you like and time get that down a little bit lower so we’ll have to do is minimal work with the sander now all you have to do is work out what coating you’re going to put on the storey and we’re done that’s definitely an improvement it stimulates the whole bathroom look better and feel bigger now for quantities more content like this just subscribe to the
