Murphy's Law
Some where in this house I am about 99.9999 % certain I have a 1/2 inch notched trowel for ceramic tile work. Murphy's law says if something can go wrong it will. I'm betting some where there is a law that says after you go out and replace something you cannot find, it will show up. Serendipity comes to mind. You know, the one that says when you stop looking for something it will show up. I did some checking. One of the local hardware stores offered me a 5.00 discount off of a new notched trowel. That's not a bad discount. Money is tight and spending 11.95 on a tool for one small job like the wood stove surround, if I don't have to, aint happening if I can figure this out. I can get the plumbing stuff for the sink or a new trowel.
Time for the Dremel to earn it's keep again.
It's rude and crude and did not cost me one red cent, unless your including the electricity to cut it out with the Dremel. It was fall off from all the plexiglass we used to replace windows recently
Bath room lavatory pre cut
I put the sink on top of the counter upside down and traced the sink outline. ( Outer marks)
Then I measured the under side of the sink and marked inside the tracing to know where I wanted to cut it.
After cutting it out with circular saw on main lines and using a hand saw to get the corners it's ready to put the sink in.
Now all we have to do is go get the plumbing and we are done with it!
This week has been busy. We are finishing up the bathroom,. Have been installing trim, painting and all that good stuff. We are sanding the bath room floor to get it good and clean for vinyl tile to go down. I do not want any thing making the adhesive on the tile to not stick. I'm cheating.We are using the self adhesive tiles. I had bought these to use in the kitchen. On a whim, becasue I really want to get this bathroom finished, I took them in there, They match the tan commode, sink and counter my son picked out perfectly, so it's a done deal.
