Steps 6 - 10
6. Cut and cement the drain
line parts to fit the new center position. Join them to the existing drain line
with a transition coupling. Maintain a slight slope.
7. Mark the sink height, then
toe-screw 2x6 backers to the studs to support the sink bolts, cutting out more
drywall as necessary. Add more backers as necessary to support the new
drywall.
8. Patch the hole with drywall,
then mark the positions for the sink mounting bolts. Drill pilot holes and
screw the bolts into the blocking using both mounting nuts tightened against
each other.
9. Tape and sand the drywall
seams. Then prime and paint or tile the wall as desired. We added a 4-ft. wide
column of tile from floor to ceiling.
10. Cut the water supply lines
1 in. beyond the finished wall. Slip escutcheons over the lines and snug up but
don’t fully tighten the compression fitting valves.
