Do I have to shut off the water to remove install vessel sinks in my bathroom?
I'm a new DIYer trying to remove 2 vessel sinks and replace them with new ones. All of the instructions I've found online state to first turn off the water. Is this just a precaution or will water come spewing out when I try to remove it? (There's no shut off valve under the cabinet). I don't have the strength needed to turn it off at the curb. The faucets are wall mounted so I don't need to remove them.
Thanks in advance!

True that Doug, in this case though I think it is because those instructions are assuming that the faucets are mounted on the sink deck... in which case you would most definitely HAVE TO turn off the water before removing the sink!
