After
In a fantasy world: An' then, we waved a couple hundred bucks around, and magically there was a new sink!

In the real world: We spent two to three hundred bucks, patched the hole in the wall with drywall, joint compound and leftover paint, soldered the new drain pipe to the floor pipe, drilled holes in the floor of the new vanity and threw everything together. And shimmed it up. And screwed it into the wall. And got all the pipes to fit together... barely. Oh, and we added shutoff valves for the water lines under the sink, so if we need to mess with the faucet again it'll be easy! So far, no leaks. Eep.
The faucet is a Moen, by the way. And we got a plug style drain because unlike a plunger drain it works. Also, the sink just sits on top of the vanity. No glue or nothing. The weight and the pipes hold it together. Its vitreous china and about half the weight of the old sink. Or less.
