this is the area under my kitchen sink and as you can see it all got rotten and damaged from water
stick around and i'll show you how to replace under the sink cabinet board
hey guys welcome to daddicated my name is andy i like to fix stuff build stuff and remodel
stuff on this channel if you enjoy this type of content hit that subscribe button and let's begin
step one remove everything that is under your sink to make it easier to remove the ro system
and keep it still connected i decided to remove the door by unscrewing both of the hinges
you may need to ask someone to help you hold the door i moved my ro system out of the way
and the arrow storage tank step two take a big drill bit and make a hole closer to the front
be cautious not to drill the uprights step three do me a favor smash that like button
step four use a jigsaw and start from the edge and come as close as possible to the uprights without
actually hitting or cutting it then continue to cut using the jigsaw from the drill hole go
towards the upright first then go towards the back side then use an oscillating tool to cut the top
where the upright is lift the piece up and try to move it out of the side pins continue to cut
the piece by piece until you clean it all up step 5 take the oscillating tool and remove the
plastic dowels that were holding the base step 6 measure the height of the upright then take a
piece of scrap plank and measure the dimensions and mark the plank next i set up my saw and made
a few pieces i'll be using underneath the base as sports i also added two holes to a couple of them
and screw them to the side for support i did two of them for extra support on this side next i
made this corner piece and nailed it all together and i placed it back in the middle section step 7
measure the depth of the cabin base i decided to measure first to the pipes so it's easier to make
it out of two pieces i bought this 24 inch by 48 inch laminated shelfing from home depot for
about 17 because regular plywood is expensive then i marked my measurements and drew my line
pro tip before cutting the board tape the marked line on both sides to prevent chipping especially
on the laminated piece like this then i made my cut next remove the tape and as you can see i got
a very nice clean edge step eight i then placed my first piece in and made a minor adjustments
to the l bracket next i marked the walls where i needed to nail it and began nailing it down to
all supports that i have installed another thing i did is use zip ties to bring the refrigerator line
closer to the other tubing next i nailed my side supports on the side and inserted the other half
as far as it could go after that i made my marks for the spaces where i need to leave the base
and measured how far this one needs to go and then made my marks then i used a jigsaw to make
these cuts and place the back into the spot next i used the saker contour tool and made the matching
profile i'll have the links in the description below it's a very simple tool to use you just push
it towards the profile that you want and that's what you get so i got this profile right here
then i traced it onto my board and took my jigsaw and made the cuts to match the profile the round
one was fairly simple to do but the square one i had to drill the hole first and then i was able
to finish the last cut with the jigsaw after that it fit like butter i then nailed the board to the
uprights into the side that i installed so i went an extra mile and i took a small plank like this
one and screwed it back like this i decided to use these cut pieces to plug the holes in the back i
made some marks and used the contour tool again and here's what the profile ended up looking like
then i used some liquid nail and spread it like peanut butter on each piece and installed it in
the back next i was ready to do the caulking i also got this three-in-one caulking tool from
saker that i wanted to try out so i ran a bead of caulk in the corner and used the caulking tool to
collect the axis then i used my finger and used the axis to fill the remaining nail gun holes
and the crack in the middle next i used my finger again to go around the pipe and sealed that up
someone told me this trick that if you [ __ ] all around all the base and if you have a leak
it shouldn't seep into the cracks therefore you shouldn't have any damages in the future here
it is up close where i sealed around the pipes step 10. i got this edge banding from amazon
i'll have the links in the description below that i'll be ironing on here start with one
edge and work your way up across slowly i had to ask my wife to help me with the ironing so
that i can hold the piece up straight i then put my cabinet doors back up and made sure it closed
properly after that i placed everything back under the sink and i was all set like and subscribe
