New Beginnings

Last night had New Beginnings for the Young Women.  Had a Chinese New Year theme and decorations all around.  What an awesome opportunity to work with the youth in our ward.

Bathroom Remodel

This past weekend, got two more coats of oil on the vanity and got it installed in the bathroom.  Leaving some of the pink paint on the wall for posterity.

Then we got to the point of having to figure out where and how to cut the hole for the sink bowl to be recessed in to the counter top.  Oh man!!  So hard to think about cutting in to the countertop.

I got my trusty tramel points out and cut some holes in practise material to see how the cutting would go and to see how low the sink would be into the countertop.

I made circles of 10, 12 and 14 inches.  I cut a hole in cardboard....  foam....

And MDF.

Worked on cutting on the right angle on the wood so it would cradle the sink bowl, and played with that for quite a while.

Ran to Woodcraft, bought a new router bit to help with the angle on the hole to help the bowl set in the counter top.  Played with the jig saw to see what angle would work best to cut the hole. 

The counter top is almost 1 1/2 inches thick, so the jig saw can only do so much.

After playing most of the afternoon with it, I chickened out and thought I would ponder a few more days.
