I know, right? Could you imagine having to cut the hole in the stone countertop for a traditional sink? Pass. This was MUCH easier. Thanks so much for watching.
Linda, you are quite welcome. I’m so glad you liked it. Yes, these are really attractive. Plus I think the high lip helps keep water from going everywhere. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video! The caulk you put around the outside of the sink... how do you recommend getting the back/side edge that's very close to the wall? Seems the caulk gun doesn't quite fit.
I could also apply it to the sink directly and then set the sink in position. There is a little time to squoosh it into position before it sets. Does that make sense?
Courtney, great question! On this model faucet and vessel sink? Yes. The faucet is bolted to the sink. You must remove the sink to remove the faucet. Keep the questions coming. Thanks for watching and thanks for chiming in.
Ann, I did NOT caulk the back of the sink. This way you can tell if there is a leak. I also do not think it is wise or would look right to push the vessel sink up against the back splash. Let me know if you have any other questions. And thanks so much for watching.
Dennis, GREAT question. The way this faucet is designed for this basin sink there is NOT a way to remove the faucet without removing the basin sink. The faucet neck is not long enough to thread from below the countertop. Thanks so much for watching.

I want to replace my 1960s bathroom sink with one of this type. The vanity and cabinets are built in with subway tiles on the top surface. The dimensions of the new sink fit over the current opening. Do you see any problem with this? I haven't tried removing the old sink yet. I may destroy the cabinet in the process LOL.
I choose to NOT seal the back of the basin. Not much water tends to go back there plus it may allow water to escape if there is a leak. Great question though. What’s your opinion?
Do you know someone in the market for a vessel sink? They're very trendy right now. Did you know some vessel sinks do not have overflow? We learned the hard way and started to install the wrong drain. Don't make that mistake.
Excellent, Lucid video, Sir. Same exact sink and I too just learned that common overflow drains will not work, haha. I’d like to drill a big enough hole in my countertop that I can easily unlock the drain if there are problems, leaks or just want a new drain. The brass nut obviously increases the width of drain.. How big of hole did you end up drilling for drain/ nut clearance and can you loosen it without too much trouble. My countertop is a 1.75” piece of old hard maple butcher block so I may need it larger
@@patrujo we used a 2 inch diamond hole saw. I’m so glad it helped. Thanks so much for watching. Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.
That is the Swiss Madison SM-VS203 Claire 20" Rectangle Vessel Sink found at www.amazon.com/dp/B083QRYVYN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. Thanks so much for watching.
