    Moving my washer/dryer to other side of wall
    Im thinking about putting my washer and dryer in the Garage which is located on the other side of the wall where it is now. The exhaust , the outlets and the drain is right there. Is there something Im not thinking about? I would just extend the exhaust through the wall and turn the drain pipe around and create holes.. the electricity outlets I'm not sure about. OK if the cords reach through the walls? Any ideas? Thank you!

    It sounds like you have the drainage and supplies under control. I would install a duplex outlet in the wall instead of simply poking the wire through the wall. Good luck, Tom

    Just make sure you have 2" drain. Also if gas dryer, you will need gas outlet.
