Hello Everyone!

I have a plumber coming over in the morning to quote some work -

1) I need washer supply lines runs moved/run. The new location for the
washer is about 5 feet from the old location.

2) I also need the drain extended to reach the new location.

3) Finally, I need a gas line run about 3 feet for the dryer.

You can get washer hoses in the length you need.
Extending the gas line a few feet, or maybe using a flex,
shouldn't be outrageous.

Given all the variables, to do what you proposed could easily
cost 1 to 2K$ (done right).

If you think 1-2K$ is a typical price for this work, please call me
next time you need something done.

Jim is right. The plumber quoted $1,000.

Since I put this post up I've been reading some plumbing books - on
the advice from some of you that I should try to do this myself - what
I want done is not that difficult. $1,000 is ridiculous.

I'm going to buy some piping and practice and then run the supply
lines myself. I'll get the gas line done separately though.

Thanks for all the info!
