Upgraded basement bathroom sink


I had put this project on hold for many years. I probably bought the supplies when my first kid was 1 year old and 7 years later while cleaning the basement, I realized that I had a vanity top that to my surprise, fit the old sink’s cabinet perfectly. It was a weird size: 37 inches.

The faucet is made by a company called Jado. You can tell that it is a higher end brand since all the pieces weighted a bit unlike the usual chrome plated stuff. The thing that I didn’t realize was that having a faucet with a sprout separate from the faucet handles made it a lot more difficult to instead. Instead of just stuffing the faucet down one hole, there were multiple holes and basically I had to do it 3 times and never mind all the water lines that need to be connected.

At the end, it was worth it. The kids are getting older and using the basement more. So it is nice to be able to use that bathroom without having to trek upstairs.
