I'll be at work when you air this -- but the deal absolutely no CZcams blogger is talking about is the Makita brushless 18 volt 1/2" impact wrench kit at $149 -- Includes 2AH battery. While it's not the big boy 1/2" wrench (which is $289 tool only, 740 ft-lbs) it's more than decent at 210 ft-lbs. Meanwhile Amazon has 1/2" DeWalt (tool only) at $88

@@SouthBaySteelers I bought this kit in August, one of the best deals ever.
Pro work- nice to see a craftsman who cares about his work and customer. 👍
Thanks! IT was worth the effort
Scoured the internet for hours best information I found on how to. This man is a pro
Thanks Clifford, glad you liked it
That was absolutely amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video. It's hard for homeowners to find somebody as qualified as you to do such good work. This job looks like a pain in the butt and you got it done like a pro!
It was a pain in the neck! My neck and back were sore the next day, as were my fingers, because of using muscles I never knew I had, and trying to loosen screws way up high under the cabinet, that would only be done 1/4 turn at a time with my tiny ratchet and socket bits. Thank God I had my Dewalt 173 piece tool set with me, that kit saved the day.
Amazing to watch you sweep and vacuum up the mess. I've pulled cabinets,carpet, and cleaned out crawl space FULL of garbage left from construction or remodeling. So thank you!!!!
Yes, I need to have a sterile work area
I enjoyed your channel. Your thorough attention to fine detail and a heart of a teacher is AMAZING. Thank you
I’m watching videos for projects I’m not evening doing because the is channel is awesome. Keep it up!
Very informative. I checked my dishwasher drain hose and realized Homedepot did it wrong. I will be re-routing it this weekend. Thanks!
I really appreciate this video. This is one of my projects after my new countertops are installed but before that I need to remove the old quartz tops and backsplash...cabinet will be reused. I will be sure to check out the electrical too. The good news is the condo I purchased is only 8 years old but had renters the past 8 years...this will be my new home. Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful!
Another thorough explanation. So helpful to DIY project people like me.
Thanks Cynthia I'm glad you like to
You are the answer to my prayers! Thank you!!!! Legit the same cabinetry poorly installed & the dip trap already rotted... my house is 4 years old & the sink has to go...and in comes the apron sink ....I saw this video & I was able to do it myself with the help of borrowed tools! Thank you!!!!
Glad I could help! Good deal Clancy!
First time watching you, and I subscribed because you know what you’re doing.
Great job! Thanks for taking the time to explain and video this job. Appreciate your work.
Glad it was helpful!
You are very meticulous. I have learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much. I am just a DIY doing my refurbishing of my kitchen here in Jamaica. Thanks for the tutorial.
You are very welcome
Great video! I am remodeling a kitchen and want to disassemble the sink basin cabinet intact so that it can be included in the cabinet set for Restore (Habitat for Humanity). This video was very useful in learning how things went together so that I can undo the assembly properly. :-)
Glad to help out
Great video, Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Maria
Great job and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!!
Glad you liked it AL!
Good info!
Glad you think so!
Great video, my mother is in a very similar situation in her home. When I talked to her she seemed hopeless like she would need to gut the whole kitchen and start over. Hopefully we can find some one as skilled as you to pull off a similar job.
As long as you are careful, it is doable. Took me 5 hours to get it all out.
Thank you very much!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Amazing video!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Oh thank you so much for making this video. I have nearly the exact same project. Every countertop company would rather I just have them dispose the old countertop and then have the new cabinets and a new countertop put in. Well, my granite countertop is really nice and it's such a waste of material and labor to put in a new one. I now have the confidence to do this myself without having to pay for a new countertop which is their agenda.
Yes being an engineer I have the confidence to pull off something like this and I am never afraid of performing microsurgery like this to extract something out gently. The problem with all of these contractors is they're used to just coming in with sledgehammers and bashing things up it's a lot quicker for them they won't spend the five hours that it took me to do this
He trashed those previous workers like a true old man lol I love it
Killed em with kindness
Job Well done🎉
Thanks Jimmy!
Great video Jeff. One quick question- is it ok to top mount a 20 pound kitchen sink over a 2 inch granite overhang with no plywood under the granite lips??
Can you replace the entire kitchen cabinets and still keep the granite intact?
Great video. I believe that outlet under the sink should be A GFCI. NEC 2020 422.5(A)(7). Great video though. Very informative with excellent video coverage. Keep em coming
Yes, we left it alone as it is grandfathered in.
Nice job. I have the exact same project in front of me.
Right on Good luck with it Gene!
Is it possible to diy a farm sink in this kitchen where granite is cut like that
Really nice work here. Question, could this work extend to that of replacing all cabinets under the granite counter? We just purchased a condo (closing in about two weeks) and the owner put a new granite countertop over old, ugly cabinets (and called the kitchen "completely renovated").
Yes you could do that with additional bracing added, just like what I had under the sink. I thin a 2 x 4 wedged into place under the counter every 24" would support the granite.
I enjoyed the video and learned a lot. I’m just curious - was there any consideration of refinishing the existing cabinet? Especially given the potential risks to the granite? It appeared in the video that the only thing damaged was the finish, not the plywood base or front piece.
This was at my friend’s house and I think it was only a $200 for him to buy replacement base unit so he just figured he didn't wanna refinish it. He said it was better to just put the same exact model number back in
You mentioned in the update video that you didn't like when cabinets are installed with the back. Why didn't you take the back off?
Hi Jeff, Where did you find the 2 caps/hole plugs with the big thread below for blocking off the unused faucet holes? A link or store name would be great
Hi Bob, the part is called DANCO Kitchen Sink Hole Cover | Sink Plug Cover | Rust Resistant | Brushed Nickel (89478) here is the link to it on Amazon: amzn.to/2SwoJ0d
Nice job :)
Regarding unused holes from soap dispenser etc. Wouldn't it be easier to apply silicon when they were loose, not securely attached to the countertop? And then tighten the plastic nuts underneath.
You could do it either way
Jeff thank you for the helpful video, I am keeping the cabinet .. just want to get the sink out from under the granite .. to put a new drop in sink in place ? ... any idea on how I can do that ?
Kim: drop sink? If it was installed in granite I would expect that the sink was in undermounted sink and so you would sink from above you would likely be having one re mounted from below. So double check that and make sure you are doing the correct thing here. Also when you buy a new sink I would go for one that's thick like 16 to 18 mil thick. Instead of the standard steel that they give you in most of the stores when you buy them there 'cause they tend to be too flexible
@@jeffostroff Thank you Jeff .... I bought a top mount sink (drop in) Kohler Porcelain tub kitchen sink ... and was going to try and cut out the undermount stainless steel sink ... but my contractor friend does not have time ... and I had to return the sink ... the 3 mo was up. ... so I will try again ... but I learned a lot from your video .. so thank you, the kitchen in the video is almost the same as mine.
Hopefully purchasing s new home where the owner had back to back kitchen cabinets and sink one had to go do going to follow this fingers crossed 🤞
Take video!
My Skill 12 Volt oscillator with the Milwaukee scraper worked well to remove the sink from the granite countertop. It cracked trying to install a cheap Lowes. What is the manufacture of the kitchen cabinet?
We don't know, they bought it from a local cabinet shop
👍👍
Rocket surgery! Great job! 👍
Thanks Ken!
Your video skipped how you got the cabinet under the granite. There is a difference in the floor. How did you get it in?
I don't know why I missed it, there were 2 scenes there which I filmed for this but never used them. It was easy though, just put bead of silicone around top of new cabinet and slide it right under granite counter, and shim up off floor until the top of the cabinet touches the granite counter.
Oh okay. The difference in the floor is probably not as drastic as ours. We couldn’t easily slide it and had to ditch the idea.
Enjoyed your video. Nice job. That outlet for the garbage disposal is tied to a switch, right? So wouldn't that cause a problem trying to use same outlet for dishwasher?
No it would not cause a problem because what you have to do is snipped the tabs on the right side of the outlet that connects the 2 individual receptacles together. Once you do that they now operate separately in most houses your garbage disposal would go into one recepticle in the dishwasher as its own 20 amp circuit as well going into that other receptacle
@@jeffostroff Thank you for enlightening me! Never knew this. We bought a touchless faucet that needed power and the installer wired up another outlet. Live and learn!
I always check my PVC under the sink and tighten when loose because I’m the one always stuck with a leak.
Any thoughts on if you need to remove a cabinet at the end of an L shaped granite counter top in terms of bracing it so it doesn't snap off under its own weight?
The same process should apply what I would do is when you get the cabinet near the edge of the counter have a four by four or a 2 by 4 post ready to stick in there and make sure that it is snug fit from the floor to the bottom of the granite counter. Then as you slide the cabinet out you can put one or two more in there.
I have this exact project. Please tell me you are near San Antonio so I can hire you
Fort Lauderdale! You can do this
Did you just cut a hole around the DWV?
We used the Hole Dozer to cut a hole on the back of the new base cabinet prior to installing it under the granite counter, to fit around the DWV pipe, then slid the new cabinet into place.
imagine if you can replacing an under mount kitchen sink that is between the plywood countertop base and the granite counter top without damaging anything or end up needing to replace the granite 🤯
That would be a very precurious fix
You could have popped off the back of the old cabinet and used it as a template for the holes in the new cabinet ~ excuse my Polish heritage 😂😂
I can’t wait for the granite countertop trend goes away, if you ever want to paint your cabinets a different color, or change your flooring you’re limited with color because of all the crazy colors in the granite.
i cant stress these tools enough for siliconing: Cramer Fuji. 2 years ago we went over to Germany to understand the science behind so many failed seals in silicone; along with why applying silicone incorrectly (especially in damp areas: sink/shower/bathroom) - attracts mold/mildew) conclusive #1 reason is not creating the correct bond with a tool and not introducing bacteria or other chemicals in the curing process of silicone: no fingers, no soapy water, no air bubbles, no introducing mineral spirits to the curing silicone. Totally different then latex or Polyurethane caulk. Siliconing is the term used in Europe for all sealant bonding vs USA says "caulking" although one may use silicone in the caulking process. Silicone is a sealant NOT a bonding adhesive.
That is correct I guess you haven't seen my other videos from last year several of them where we mentioned using the Cramer fugi kit, unfortunately can't use it on this particular spot because of the shape of the beviled edge between these stainless steel sink and the granite countertop
It's still true. Great carpenters are the worst caulkers 😀
Silicone is the messiest
GR
The reason why they cut that is because it's too heavy for two installers to carry it. Also there's a good chance the countertop will break if not cut.
I have seen cases where they made the countertop without a seam. My same granite guys that I use also on a similar counter like this put a seam in the middle of the sink also because when both right and left side is up against a wall, they cannot easily set the counter. Now if the other side is open and not against the wall, they can lay it easily without cracking.
How much did it cost the owner for that project?
$465 start to finish , including removing the cabinet, we replaced another cabinet and drilled holes, and fixed electrical violations, and siliconed everything back up when finished, and installed new faucet.
@@jeffostroff are you in Cali by chance?
@@jeffostroff I think that's a fair price for what was involved
We have asked several granite companies and they say they won't do this project for us because of they can't guarantee the granite won't break. Have you ever broken the granite and if so, what was the main reason it broke? You know anyone in Houston :)
I have not broken the granite yet, doing this about 5 time so far. I am very carefully, move things slowly, no surprises, and I shore up the granite as best I can, and you saw once the cabinet was out, the 2x4 went up immediately to shore up that granite overhang.
We ran the dishwasher hose lower… no garbage disposal, don’t like them 🤷♀️
Step 1: Find a kitchen remodeler who is WILLING (not merely able) to take on your job.
So far, we are 0 for 4 on that front. Thus stuck with a sink we hate.
thats a really low window
couldn't you have just put the cabinets back-to-back and trace it to save time
Are you nuts? NO! If you put them back to back and trace, the holes will be on the wrong left of the cabinet instead of the right, you will get a mirror image.
That outlet not up to code, needs to be gfi
I normally do that, but you can't fit a GFCI outlet into a handibox. Now you have to start chiseling into the concrete wall
