I think you are on to something. Looks like the top is
attached with around a dozen dry wall screws and, I'd
have to remove the sink anyway. On the tops I was looking
at the, splash board was about 2 inched shorter in height then
the existing one which would, possibly, require some dry wall
work but over all the amount of work would be considerable
less. Tomorrow I am going to check some prices but I think
this is the solution, although I was looking forward to buying
a new router (one of the plunge type) and some carbide bits.
Thanks,
chad
