Interesting Demolition, Counter With No Cabinets.
While looking at a home with extensive water damage yesterday, I came across this in the bathroom area. The cabinets were demolished without removing the counters or putting in any supports. So the first thing that came to mind was this – what if the counter fails. If the counter fails, there is a chance of the plumbing leaking again.
Yes, that doesn't seem very stable. Also, it would have been better if the tile was installed underneath the cabinets.
That doesn't look real promising to me Tom. Potential for more issues indeed.
No doubt you sat on the counter to see just how much weight it would take before failing. Right?
Or a good, heavy lean on the counter?
Good morning Tom. Only you.....find these strange, odd and amazing things. This is funny but serious too as you point out.
Hi Tom
It's not IF the lines will leak but when. The longer they wait the better the chances of counter failure.
Have a great day in the Sacramento area.
Best, Clint McKie
I realize that this is just temporary until the new cabinets were to be installed but the counter will likely need to be removed anyway. the new cabinets wont fit into the space without removing the tile flooring. Maybe a temporary brace would be a short term solution.
A temporary brace would surely be the answer to avoiding further disaster, Tom. Good post.
