Countertop removal

[thomas phipps]

I am going to install a new sink. The sink requires cutting more material from the countertop. Has anyone removed a countertop and can comment on how
it was attached to the cabinet? Screw and cleats? Nails? Pegs and glue? This information will help me figure out a plan of attack. The countertop is
not going to be removed, just an additional cutout. Sink is from Ikea, should end up with one deep large basin and one smaller sized basin, plus a
stainless countertop covered area for whatever. The sink basins fit, just need to do a relief cutout for the extended stainless area.
Any interest in photos of this short journey?

Tom,
It could be held on by any number of methods at these coach were build by Coachman. Depends on the day also. I will go out and look at my Avion that I have in the shop and see if I can see how it was done. You will need to check clearance underneath for the drains too.

My sinks have the same clips as the one in the house - clips with a screw which puts tension on the sink via tabs with slots. Note that once removed
- all of them including the ones you can't see in the rear of the sink - there's likely a sealant under the edge of the sink, and you should use
sealant on the new one to preclude leaks from spills. I used a taping knife to get the one in the kitchen loose. If you're putting in a bigger one,
be sure it won't interfere with anything under there >before< you enlarge the cutout

Old sink out. Standard hold down clips, like Johnny suggested. Faucet out. Sink just uses standard PVC pipe for drains. Plenty of room under sink.
Just need the creative cutting of the countertop.
Photos at eleven.

Sink cutout finished. Area of top cut out was not attached. Attachment must be over the uprights of the cabinet base. Project moving nicely. Looks
very nice without finishing. Wife approval.
