Has anyone had this done? Is it relatively straightforward for a pro plumber? I assume so, but would hate to buy and assemble the vanity and then find out when the plumber arrives that it ain't gonna happen without major work.   Bailey Citizen Username: Baileymac Post Number: 146 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2006 - 8:06 pm:        If all the existing plumbing will fall within the dimensions of the new vanity, it sounds like no major plumbing will be necessary. Reconnecting the water supplies can be done with flexible tube, and the drain piping can be plastic. If the existing piping must be relocated inside walls or floors, it's a more complex project. Is it possible to post a couple of pics, maybe the vanity and the existing plumbing?   Jennifer Pickett Citizen Username: Jpickett Post Number: 130 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 3:50 pm:        Thanks! I think the existing plumbing will fit in the new vanity. A flex tube seems like it would work. The drain pipe might not have to move, the drain will hopefully be in the same spot. Here is the existing vanity.   Jennifer Pickett Citizen Username: Jpickett Post Number: 131 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 3:52 pm:        Here are the pipes underneath (from the same angle).   Jennifer Pickett Citizen Username: Jpickett Post Number: 132 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 4:01 pm:        Here's the new vanity in question:   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 10298 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, January 16, 2006 - 5:01 pm:        Looks like the piping comes out of the wall on the left side of the exisitng sink/vanity. You are going to have to go through the side of the new vanity, but that shouldn't be an issue as long as the vanity is right in the corner and the sink top doesn't overlap the base, or atleast doesn't overlap enough so the piping is noticeable.
