Back-saver counter loftiness surrounded by bathroom?

I have a 20-year prehistoric bathroom in my home. I am looking for some economical ways to update it. The existing cabinet are a classic style and I plan to update the handles. I'd love to enjoy the higher, back-saver, counter increase. Is there a route to modify or lift the existing cabinet?


Answers:    Actually.... there is! But it's deeply of work.

You can remove the cabinet from the wall, with the counter top still attached contained by most older homes.

-Decide how much you want to pull the unit.
-Measure the remains, length x width.
-Pre-fab a solid plywood stand to raise the component to the desired height. -Cabinets own a dead space between the bottom of the shekf and the floor. This is where on earth the pre-fab will go. The dais should fit snugly inside the cabinet at the base, so include that into your design.

-In order for this to work, you will entail to put some braced inside the underside of the cabinet. Subtract the width of the bracing from the heigth of the prefab.
-The bracing will screw directly into the side of the cabined.

-Turn rotten the water.
-CAREFULLY disconnect the drain vein.
-CAREFULLY disconnect the water to the sink at both ends.
-Take the caulking past its sell-by date the countertop where it attaches to the wall.
-Remove any nail and screws surrounded by the cabinet, and remove the entire unit.
-Now, place the section against the wall where you want it to stir, and mark the spot where on earth the plumbing comes out of the wall.
-Cut a section of the foot big enough to accomidate the latest plumbing, and remove that section from the pay for.
(This can be done in a much more professional track, but I'm pressed for time this morning...)
-Put the prefab in place. Screw it to the floor and the wall(s).
-Put the cabinet over the prefab.
-Once the cabinet is in place, screw the bottom to the prefab. It would also be a pious idea to put some screw in from the side.

-Re-plumb the lines from the wall, and slide the cabinet into place. Remember to attach it to the wall.
-Re-connect the plumbing and drain next to new lines. This will require a trip to the hardware store. You will also requirement basic plumbing tools to do this, as you will be connecting elderly lines with trial pipes...
-Re-caulk the countertop.

Now, you will notice that the cabinet overhangs the foreign base by the thickness of the wood used to make the cabinet. That is call a sub-facia, and can be decorated any channel that you like. However, you will probably want to put something nearby that will help support the cabinet.

The counter is attached to the cabinet and the sink, which is in turn, related to the pipings etc. There does not seem to be a simple, cost-effective solution.
