I currently have a washer and dryer in my bathroom. On the other side of that wall is a 5x10 pantry. I would like to move the washer and dryer into the pantry and make that into a laundry room. How difficult is it to move the hookups the other side of the wall into the pantry?
I would like to free up the wall that the washer and dryer are currently on so I can move the bathroom sink there. The sink is about 5 feet from where I would like it to go.
How difficult would it be to move those pipes over to that wall?

its not difficult for me at all.
do you want the washer and rryer, to just flip over, to the other side of the wall?
and the sink to be where the washer is now?
if so. then first take the rock out. do you have a camera?
take a picture of the wall, with the washer and dryer marked on the floor.you can use a bottle cap anything. and mark the center of the new
sink
got to photobucket .com and post picture here
we can do this. i will tell you what to cut
and what to add

I actually don't have a digital camera. But yes, I just want to flip the washer and dryer to the other side of the wall and put the sink in its place. Eventually, I want to put in a new double sink and vanity there as part of a bathroom renovation. But I want to get the moving pipes out of the way first, then start doing other things.

ok.. here goes
there should be a 2 inch pipe coming out of the concrete. with a 2 inch tee on it. the top of the tee goes out the roof.
the side outlet of the tee should have a p-trap
on it..at the top of the trap is the washer box
is this correct

Wow, this seems a lot easier than I expected and very doable for myself.
However, either I got confused somewhere or I confused you somewhere.
There is a wall dividing where the washer/dryer hookups are now and where I want to move them. Isn't there any drilling or in the wall or floor needed to get them in the new room?
