Oh no! Little Laundry Room Project

It's 7am in Marina Del Rey.  Time for demolition before we install some new cabinets. 


Oh NO! MOLD! 
(after two extensive tests from a water damage insurance claim)


Oh NO! Rohl Shaw's Original Farmhouse Sink!

Time to start building a structure to support the heavy fire-clay sink!
(Weight = 132 lbs. Price = $1,200)




OH NO! The sink corners are round and we have a European frame-less cabinet!
(A farmhouse apron sink like Rohl Shaw is most ideal for face-frame cabinets. We had to create our own solution to house this sink in combination with a frame-less cabinet.  Creating a false-front apron surrounding this sink took almost 3 hours.  We had to make two cardboard templates and slowly sculpt our panel to the uneven shape of the fire-clay sink)


After 10 hours of straight installation, Juan and I were able to complete the installation of these two base cabinets.  I underestimated everything involved with the Rohl Shaw sink. We were supposed to install cabinets across the top (wall to wall) today as well but due to the mold discovery, we will resume installation after the mold is removed.
