Hi, We are remodeling our bathroom and are now ready to order our vanity counter top. The vanity will be going into a corner of the room. So when we ordered it, the designer at HD included a 3/4 inch filler strip. This was to allow clearance for the vanity door to open fully. The old vanity did not have this filler and opened with no issues. If we use this strip we'll have to make the top 3/4'' longer than if we didn't use it. Here are my questions: Assuming we use the filler, should we position the center of the sink cut out to be in the center (left to right) of the vanity top or should it be centered to the vanity's middle? If we center the cut out to the counter top, the drain will end up being 1 3/8" to the right of the middle of the existing drain that is sticking out of the wall. Will this create a big plumbing issue with regard to connecting the sink drain? If we center the sink to the vanity, this offset drops to 1 1/4 inches with the filler and 1/2 inch with no filler. Any advice or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, this may be a dumb question and I think I already know the answer. I want to replace my existing pre-fab (ie leaky piece of crap) shower with a nice, tiled walk in. Problem is, the footprint for the new shower will extend onto the existing tile. Do I need to remove the tile under the new shower or can I just level it out? If I do remove it, how is the best way to do so without destroying the rest of the floor? It's a tiny bathroom and the tiles are 18". I can't see a way to make it work removing whole tiles, I'll need to make a cut about 3/4 through one row. Also, I will need to move the fixtures about 3 feet from their current location. Can I do this with flexible water line or do I need to get a plumber to move the metal pipes? Thanks for your help.
