you need to tighten down on the bolts more alrighty now that the toilet is in let's move over to the big gaping hole i made when removing the backsplash the best way to repair this is to open up the hole enough so that a new piece of drywall can be fitted into place and you'll want the ends of the drywall to land on a stud so i used my multi-tool to open it up a bit and then secured down a new piece the next steps aren't as easy tape mud and texture needs to be added to make it disappear and match the existing wall texture i've done this once before but honestly i'm not that good at it so i asked my employee jacob to come in here and knock it out for me with a little bit of paint that old backsplash is just a memory real quick i want to thank this video sponsor which is policy genius if someone relies on your financial support whether it's a child an aging parent or even a business partner then you need life insurance this is where you need policy genius they make it easy to compare quotes from over a dozen top insurers all in one place you could save NUMBER_TOKEN or more on life insurance by comparing quotes with policy genius and eligible applicants can get covered in as little as a week thanks to award-winning policy option rated number one by forbes i personally have seen my parents and grandparents benefit from life insurance allowing them to withstand the cost of funerals and mortgages just head over to URL_TOKEN april to get started in a minute you can work out how much coverage you need and compare personalized quotes to find your best price you could save NUMBER_TOKEN or more per year on life insurance by using policy genius to compare policies so head to URL_TOKEN april to start comparing quotes and simplify insurance buying big thank you to policy genius for supporting what i do now let's move down to installing the new vanity now you can definitely just rip out the old vanity and put in the new one however in my situation the plumbing is the original plumbing installed in the house which is NUMBER_TOKEN years old with that i'm going to take the opportunity to update my plumbing first i need to replace the valves my fittings are so corroded and stuck on i simply cut mine off and they make different cutting tools but i found this ultra compact one that made getting in this tight spot very simple you latch on to the pipe and keep turning until it breaks all the way through you want to cut off as little as possible and you can also keep a trash can mirror to catch the water left in the pipes i'm replacing the valves with a fitting you take the back nut off the fitting being careful not to lose the bushing inside then you can slip the nut into the pipe followed by this bushing i smeared a little plumber's tape on the pipe then the rest of the fitting can be shoved onto the pipe once you fill the fitting seat all the way onto that bushing and nut you simply have to tighten down on the nut as you tighten down this will apply pressure to the bushing inside which will in turn squeeze down onto the pipe they call this a compression fitting the top port will be where the new supply lines connect to so as you're positioning the fittings make sure that they're pointed upwards towards where the sink will be and that's what i did next i grabbed my new supply
