Mark the area. Use a pencil and a yardstick to draw a line marking where the bottom edge of the cabinet should be placed on the wall. If the wall cabinet will be installed over a base cabinet, be sure that the wall cabinet placement lines up perfectly with the base cabinet. Find the studs. Locate the studs in your bathroom wall with a stud finder. Mark the location of the studs with pencil on the wall and the cabinet. Take off the doors.
A good cabinet installation starts with a good layout. Measure from the highest point in the floor and draw a level line marking the top of the base cabinets. Measure up 19-1/2 in. from that line and draw another line for the bottom of the upper cabinets. Label the location of the cabinets and appliances on the wall. Draw a vertical line to line up the edge of the first cabinet to be installed. Finally, mark the stud locations.
It's easier to hang the uppers when you're not hanging way over the base cabinets. Rest the uppers on a ledger board—it'll ensure a nice, straight alignment and eliminate the frustration of holding the cabinets in place while screwing them to the wall. Use a Block of Wood for Scribing Find the largest distance between the outside of the cabinet and the wall. Take that measurement and make a pencil mark on your filler strip (measure over right to left in this case).
Many top cabinet makers prefer GRK's R4 self-countersinking screw. You'll pay accordingly, but why scrimp on screws when you're spending thousands of dollars on cabinets?

Please choose your screws accordingly, we dont know if you are installing over drywall, stone, tile, or glass panel; so you need to consult with your plumbers on what of screws to use on the walls.
Use 2x2s to Secure Cabinets to the Floor Cabinets that make up islands and peninsulas need to be secured to the floor. Join the island cabinets and set them in place. Trace an outline of the cabinets on the floor. Screw 2x2s to the floor 1/2 in. on the inside of the line to account for the thickness of the cabinets. Anchor the island cabinets to the 2x2s with screws. If needed, place flooring blocks under the 2x2s.
DRAINS INSTALLATION Step 1: Line Up the Drain Hole with the Cutout Line up the sink’s drain hole with the cutout in the countertop. The homeowners in this project had the pros who supplied and installed the countertop handle the delicate job of cutting holes for the sink and faucet assembly Step 2: Apply Putty to the Underside Roll out a bead of plumber's putty about 1/4" in diameter and place it around the underside of the drain.
Step 3: Attach a Rubber Gasket On the underside of the counter, attach the rubber gasket, plastic washer and lock nut to the drain. Then, attach the drain stem. It is important that the hole for the drain through the top of the counter is not too large. It needs to be just big enough to allow the drain's pipe through. The thin metal ring and a retaining nut that screw onto the pipe from under the counter actually "clamp" the sink down.
Step 4: Dry-Fit the Pipes and Fittings Dry-fit the PVC pipe and fittings, including the P-trap, making cuts as needed.
This is demo how the drain connected to your ptrap without the glass top & vessel sink. In real installation, you should put the drain the the surface of the glass top, bottom drain connecting the ptrap. Step 5: Apply Primer and Cement Apply PVC primer and PVC cement to the appropriate surfaces and assemble the drain, tying it into the roughed-in waste pipe. Make sure to hold each connection together for several moments so the chemical reaction of the primer and cement doesn't force the pieces apart.
step1Place the mounting ring. A mounting ring is only necessary if you're installing an above-counter vessel sink. Recessed vessel sinks are supported directly by the countertop. Place the ring directly over the drain hole in the countertop, applying adhesive or plumber's putty as directed by the instructions that came with your vessel sink. step2 Lower the sink vessel. Rest the sink either on the mounting ring or into the recessed hole in your countertop.
