Those are some great pictures. You did a great job. We are doing a total upgrade and planning on putting a sink like that in your bath. How did you connect it to the cabinet and how is it holding up with the vibration. I really like that look .
thanks

The connection was a bit of a trick, but it seems to be holding up quite well in spite of some pretty bumpy roads! I did it by adding a long threaded outlet pipe and then finding a nut that fit it. I had to shop around to get all the pieces. This tightened it down to the cabinet very tight. I also used a bead of silicone.

If that doesn't make sense to you, let me know and I will try and shoot a picture of it.

Best,

John

That makes perfect sense, you really did a good job. Thanks

Is that a composting toilet? What are you ecofriendly aspects? We are going to be renovating a 30' sovereign soon and I'd like to make it eco friendly and sleek.

WOW, you did an AMAZING job! How eco-chic!
Your renovation is an inspiration. It's not just "Paint the walls and replace the carpet" anymore, you really set the bar on this one. I hope our next reno ends up looking like yours.
Thanks for the ideas and motivation!
