Even though this video is 10 years old thank you for the info. It gave me the confidence I needed to do this on my own.

I love that they did this whole thing without clearing off the sink cabinet! The blow dryer and all are just sitting there... No prob!

Excellent video! Thank you so much for this! One thing I really appreciate is the absence of excessive editorializing or condescending simplicity. This may be the perfect how-to video I have ever seen. Thank you!

Just some added FYI for this DIY project. You will also want to caulk around the outside of the sink where it meets the counter-top once its fully seated and locked in place. When installing the faucet, you may want to use "plumbers putty" beneath the plastic base to achieve a watertight seal there too. This adds about $8.00 to the job, but it is money well spent. Thanks for putting up the video.

Thank you for do this! A huge help. Even the small goof-up prepared me for sink sliding through the hole. I needed to see if the counter had holes drilled to accommodate the sink fixture lines, or just the sink.

Our basin was very tightly installed with a strong bead of adhesive. Your utility knife suggestion saved the day for me. Thank you, well done.

That was funny when the sink fell. It reminded me of what happens all the time to me.
