Sinks

[Angela]

I have three sinks coming out of my heads. One is coming out in a few minutes and the other two will come out over the next couple of weeks. I don't know how to post a photo of the sink from my iPad, but I can get to a PC tomorrow and post it. Or, you can find a photo on our website. These are the original white oval sinks where the Eljer faucets mount on the slanted backside of the sink. Does anyone want these? They don't have a nick on any of them. If so, I'll be careful taking them out and save the boxes that the new sinks are in. If not...bombs away!

The faucets are crap and not worth saving, so you have to have these faucets to be able to use the sinks, or be able to find these kinds of faucets. You can't use just an ordinary faucet that sits on a flat surface. I don't understand Hatteras's logic behind using a sink that took a very special faucet that would be difficult to locate later in time when they need replacing. But it is what it is and I am replacing them with the remodeling of my heads...shower doors, too.

Ang, Are any of your shower doors bi-fold? The head is outside the shower on my 41 and I'd need a bi-fold that opens in.

No. Two of my three shower doors opened inward. The third one had room to open outward. They are not designed to open inward which is probably why they leaked so badly.

I am toying with either glass bifold doors or a solid glass door that I can install "backwards" and apply the dams and sweeps backwards to keep water inside the shower. If you want glass bifold doors, there is hardware out there that you can buy and then just have the glass fabricated. CR Laurence is an excellent source for glass door hardware. http://www.crlaurence.com/apps/cont...crlaurence.com/adv/shower_doors/index_us.html

I don't know how to post a photo of the sink from my iPad

Depending on connection/service etc etc there may be a better way. But the easiest way I have found to move relatively low res images around is to message them to myself on Facebook. (Yes, you can do that).

Then go to laptop, go to FB and do a screen shot of the image. Viola, attach here.

Ang, I had a chronic shower door leak and everything I did would not stop that little leak until I ran a clear bead of silicone in the middle of the aluminum frame. Whala the leak has been fixed.

My shower doors are old and dated. I'm working on having frameless glass doors fabricated.

Here is the sink I am taking out if anyone wants it. One is out, two more to come:



I'll hang on to them until this weekend, and if no one speaks up, I'm going to toss them.

Well what did you do with them?I could use this one if the Facets Work.

If the faucets worked or could be reasonably replaced most of us wouldn't have replaced out sinks. I tossed 3 this winter

I have replaced the stems and washers on mine. Simple task, especially compared to R&R the sinks.

I cant find the parts.Where did you find them?

 

[Angela]

The faucets work, and while I can replace internal parts to stop the one that does leak beneath the knob when it is turned on, they are ugly, old, and pitted. So, I have no desire to try to refurbish the faucets. The new replacement sink, which looks identical as the old ones, with the exception that it is flat around the top, is only $39. So, it's no-brainer for me to take the opportunity to pull them out, re-skin the countertops while the sinks are absent (I'd have to remove it to do that anyway), and put a shiny, new faucet on it. I can't put a new faucet on the old sinks because the mounting surface is not flat - it takes a special faucet to mount to these sinks. Somebody once posted a photo on here of an ordinary faucet on one of these sinks, and it looked goofy because the spout shot the water towards the back side of the sink rather than down into the basin.

Ian, you can have them - come and get them! I'll try to protect/preserve them until June 17 when you get here. They are going to be laying on my bow for the time being. Do you want more than one? If not, then, I'm going to toss the other two.

You can have one if you want it. The faucets do work; they're just not so pretty anymore. Ian wants one, too. I have three total, assuming I don't break one taking them out. One is already out unscathed.

The word "sinks" in a thread title on a boating forum does get your attention......

Hi Ian. I've been holding a sink for you for a month, almost. I understand you were coming to Fort Lauderdale on Jun 17. Do you still want the sink? If not, I'm going to toss it. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Ang, I noticed on one of the photos the soap dish. It looked brand new. Where did you get them, mine are in need of replacing. Thanks

I got it at Ace Hardware or Home Depot (one or the other) some time ago. We NEVER use them and they just sit there and pit in the salt air. I removed all of them (last one went out today) and filled in the holes. They are simple little $5.00 pieces of crap. . They don't look good for long.
