To Contest Page Info and All Entries

Name: HandyDan
Location: Sharpsville, PA
Time: This can be done in 2 or more weekends. You can take your time and stretch it out over a longer , or if you have the time you don't have to wait til the next weekend to finish it. Work out your own comfort level. It took me about a week, but you are supposed to have fun doing it! - And You Will !!!
Cost: I spent about $60.00 but still had enough supplies let over to start another project or finish 1 or 2 small ones.

Dan says: "I decided to give the bathroom a little update and I had a few dollars to at least get started. The only thing worth salvaging was the vanity cabinets. 2 side cabinets with a formica board covering them and a sink in the center...." All the pics, tools, how-to and VOTING are below...
