Finishing Touches

• The homeowners ordered sinks that are glass topped. They have an umbrella drain that allows water to flow off the sides, and you push the button in the middle to stop it up (figure A). These particular designed sinks do not have the overflow holes, so you have to make sure you don't leave the water on when you stop the sink up.

• New high style lights were installed (figure B). Anytime you are uncomfortable about doing any wiring yourself, hire an electrician.

• The sinks were hooked up. Again, if you are uncomfortable doing the plumbing work, you can hire a plumber.

• A sleek and modern European one button flush (figure C) toilet was installed. It is a one piece toilet that does not have a separate tank to clean.

• The final touch was the cabinets that were installed beside the sinks for a fresh modern style (figure D) that the homeowners will enjoy for many years.
