Installing a new countertop for the Jarrell family will make a nice improvement in the look of their kitchen. The Help on the Homefront crew gets to work taking out the old and putting in the new. - After taking out the old countertop, lay the new one on top of the old and pencil in measurements, using the old countertop as a template (figure A).
- Drill starter holes with a spade bit at the corners of the sink outline.
- To finish cutting out the sink opening, use a jig saw.
- After all cuts are made to the new countertop, set it into place.
- Add matching colored caulk to the seams, tighten together with take-up miter bolts, then wipe away excess caulk with a damp cloth (figure B).
- To finish the project, secure the countertop with wood screws.
The convenience of a dishwasher is just one way that the Jarrells can create more family time, as well as improving the kitchen's overall efficiency. - "Dress" the new dishwasher (figure C) before installation. Add a 90-degree connector to the water supply fitting, and tighten it with a wrench.
- If you are installing or have a disposal, remove the safety plug (figure D ), and tighten down the drain line hose with a hose clamp, using slip joint pliers.
- Run the water supply line to the fitting and tighten down.
