I know this is a lot for one question, but bear w/ me.

We have a half bath in which our full size w/d connections are located. We would like to move them to the kitchen, about 15 ft away. We do have a pier and beam house. Any ideas on how much that would cost?

Also, we want to put a bathtub w/ a shower in where the w/d connections used to be so that we will have a full bath for guests when they come to stay w/ us. Since the water lines are already there, could we contemplate doing this ourself? Or, would it be better just to have the plumber rough in the piping or drain for the shower when he moves the connections to the kitchen?

And one last thing, we want to move our toilet over about two feet, and it would be parallel w/ the joists or whatever, we wouldn't have to cross any.

So, we were just wondering how much all of this would cost, and if we should get it all done at the same time since the plumber will be out here anyway?

My husband is also really handy, is it feasible that he could do all/any of this himself?

Thanks for taking the time to answer all of these, really appreciate it!

I cannot speak to the plumbing aspect of this question other than to say that in my opinion it would be wiser to call several licensed plumbers and get bids on having the work done.

As to the Dryer, there are serious electrical issues. If your husband or you do not know how to run a 240 VAC line from the service panel to the new location, please consider calling a licensed electrician.

The main Service Panel can be very deadly if not done correctly, nor is the risk any lower for burns and Arc blasts.

You have to shut the panel down and still be careful because the conductors that feed the panel are still live.
