    Adding another sink
    I have room in my bathroom for 2 sinks, however there is only 1 there now. Is it more complicated than just running pipes from the existing sink or is it a whole new set up by it self? If I'm kind of handy do you think I can do it myself?

    Yes, it is very possible to add another sink yourself. This task will only consist of running pipes from you present sink to the new sink.

    This can be a single counter or you can make one long counter top for the two sinks. Accomplishing this will require you to use the more flexible hoses, rather than the PVC to the faucet.

    The drain will have to be PVC, or similar. A dual PVC sleeve will have to be purchased as well.

    Once you get the parts, be sure to dry fit them, first. Once you get all of your correct fittings, them you can proceed with appling rubber cement.

    Hope this answers your question!

    You failed to say how the lavatories would be configured so I have to give a general answer. This will involove running two traps and a separate set of supplies. Good luck, Tom
