Install bathroom doors

Bathroom Sink and Counter

Installed the bathroom counter this weekend. After much thought and consideration we decided to make the counter top out of recycled plywood. To make it interesting I cut the half inch plywood into half inch strips (the thickness I want the counter to be).  Once strips are cut I lay them on edge and use wood glue to glue them to the counter substrate.

After the glue is dry I cut the holes for the sink and faucet pipes and cut the excess overhanging plywood to the shape of the counter.

 This will later be coated in "Pour-on" enamel epoxy. I used flat bar aluminum for the back splash and counter edge. These also act as a container for the enamel coating. After the holes are cut for the sink and faucet inlets I created a containing wall out of a five gallon bucket (for the sink) and vinyl tubing (for faucet inlets). I sealed all containing walls with a clear silicon caulk - This ensures that the enamel epoxy doesn't leek out the edges.

Removed containing wall.

Painted bathroom "Asparagus Green" from Ace Hardware.

After painting we were ready to install the sink and faucet. We got the faucet used at Home Resource a home supply recycling business. Because to faucet was pretty old, we had to replace the rubber gaskets on it to stop from dripping. We ran a bead of silicon around the bottom lip of the sink to hold it to the counter.
