“Today’s Homeowner” host Danny Lipford helps Ryan and Chloe’s son use a nail gun. Meanwhile, the vanity’s countertops await elevation.
Raising the Vanity
Sometimes, homeowners raise their entire vanity, but that would require cutting new holes for the plumbing, which could result in a messy look from the inside.
Instead, Danny uses 1x4s to raise the vanity from the top — extending the vanity to 36 inches tall. He uses 2x4s for the back, middle and side supports; that gives plenty of surface to attach the 1×4 across the front.
He then uses a narrow piece of screen molding to mask the seam where the new 1×4 meets the old vanity.
