Default NEW BATHROOM VANITY

I am replacing our old bathroom vanity with a new very expensive one.
Our piping is coming up through the floor, water supply, and drain.
When I installed the old unit I just cut an opening on the floor of the
cabinet in order to
have access to the area below and allow space for installation of the pipes
to the sink above.
Since the new unit is rather pricey, I am wondering if you have any
suggestions
as to how I can install this and keep the inside bottom of the vanity
looking *nice.
On the old unit I cut a square and fit a piece of material with cut outs for
the piping.
The piping coming out of the wall is not an option, so it will need to be
cut under neath again.
I am thinking of saving the piece I cut out and someway supporting it with
brackets or clamps after
cutouts are made..
In all probability I will do this exactly as the first was done, however I
am seeking some food for thought..
Many thanks


Why not just cut openings for the pipes in the floor directly, using a
piece of paper that you measure and mark as a template. Or, copy the
holes in the existing vanity onto a piece of paper and use that as
your pattern for cutting holes in the new vanity bottom. You should
be able to do this within a 1/4 inch of perfect, then caulk around the
pipes when you are done. THis is too simple to make it into such a
big thing.
