Moving washer and dryer hookups

[Kendra T.]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure where this topic goes, but I hope some of you can give me some insights.

Here's the situation. I have one property where there are washer and dryer hookups in the kitchen. That is so ugly. Anyways, I want to move that washer and dryer hookup somewhere else.

I've already had two gc come and take a look and they said the options I have are 1) break the concrete and install new hookups into the garage, or 2) move the hookups from the kitch into the patio (enclosed patio already).

I've never seen a washer/dryer hookup that is not in the garage or inside the house before.

Please advise.

I would also think about redesigning the carport into a playroom.

Depending upon your area these "recreation rooms" would add more value to a home than a garage would, especially if everyone else in that area parks outside.

As always knowing your area and the people there will give you an idea of which way to go.
