Gee Ron you make this seem possible. I may present this to my land lady and our janitor. Yes I have a cabinet sink. Thank you for these ideas. I also suspect it may be far cheaper to entirely rebuild or build a simple new cabinet. Our janitor really is a handy person. I'm wondering if I could get a deeper sink. Or of course stick with the one I have. hmmmm.

If you have a cabinet with a vanity top it can be done by removing the supply lines at the shut off valves under the sink and the drain line from the trap. Leave the trap in place. The top should come loose. It may take a little effort as most people glue them down with silicon caulk. Like I said if it is a cabinet just build up the wooden portion as much as you want then . Buy new supply lines and a longer or new tailpiece for the sink drain and reinstall the top and piping. If you have just a wall hung the pipes will be worked the same. The sink hangs on two brackets fastened to the wall. probe above these brackets after you have removed the sink to see if there is somethng to fasten the brackets to at the new height you wish to raise them to.. If there is nothing higher then its tearing out drywall adding lumber etc. etc. etc. See why I siad the cabinet model was the easier. If there is solid lumber higher up then its a matter of raising the brackets and reinstalling sink and pipes.

I guess the pipes would be the biggest concern. Thank you for any ideas for this dream.
