    If it is a new home, haven't they provided a capped off pipe in the designated laundry area; I would assume that is for a laundry tub beside your washing machine.

    Munchkin,

    Look next to your washer box and let me know if there isn't a PVC stubout and two 1/2" pipes on either side of it. This will be a laundry tray rough in. If not do you want us to walk you though the installation? If yes, a picture would be helpful. Regards, Tom
