R & L Bathroom Re build Pt 1.
After making a Sink Cutting Board for our neighbours Caravan they asked for a rebuild on their Bathroom Vanity.
So I took a look.
The construction was plastic cladded particle board of which was showing a lot of wear and tear.
The drawer section on the left had long failed an had two of the drawers removed the other was stuck fast.
Also added with the fact that the door on the RH side was really too big for the area next to the bath.
The owners wanted to do away with the drawers and have a hinged door in its place.
So I suggested a pair of split doors on the left and a central shelf, on the right the same setup a mid way shelf and a pair of split doors to match the left.
The construction was to be made from plywood and solid timber.
They were happy with the suggestion so I designed a replacement vanity for them.
One condition placed on me was that the existing plumbing and basin was not disturbed.
I had no problem with this condition and started work.
I made a LH end section for them to have a look at , and decide if it was suitable
They were most impressed with the sample and agreed to go ahead.
So I removed the cupboard piece by piece, They offered to dump it all but I said I wanted it for a template.
So it was reconstructed like the space shuttle in my yard for determining a build stategy.
It all came out pretty easy and all I did was to cut around the plumbing to get the pipe template.
Looking at it all in the yard it looked very chatty to say the least.
Not being too confident with the ability to replicate it all, I started wondering what I had gotten myself into, and started scratching my head as to where to begin!
