REMODELING

Well, we had to do some remodeling on the house,  the washer and dryer that were in this house we bought were in the Basement, The house next door we owned the washer and dryer were in the Bathroom.  SO we got the "Building Permits as we were doing Electrical work and "we picked a small room and hired a contractor (We know him and Like Him) to install the needed electric and plumbing we had to have for a new washer and dryer we are going to buy !  Here is the room we are going to use, it has paneling, and a nice burbur thick carpet and carpet padding !

.

.

The carpet was a bugger to cut, we cut it out and was going to put down new vinyl flooring under the washer and dryer,  Dryer on the window side!

.

.

After using a straight edge and cutting the carpet which was tough as I watched the man cutting beak a blade and really put some pressure on the knife we found after taking out the carpet and then the carpet pad that under the carpet was a Tile Block Floor which looked brand new, SO: the vinyl we bought we saved and used the existing floor!  Saved us some time$$$$$$$$ !

.

.

The room is ready for the Washer and Dryer, The new water line for hot and cold water, drain line and electric for washer and 220V ran for dryer, the dryer vent was a bugger to get thru the 4 inch hole we had to cut in the vinyl tile, 1/2 inch plywood underlayment and the 1 inch floor board then drag and draw this thru the hole,  the new Building code requires a 4 prong outlet now instead of a 3 prong,   we now just to go buy the washer and dryer !

On the far right was the washer and dryer, there is a dehumidifier sitting on the stand next to the sink, the blue lines are the new Hot and Cold lines we pit in, this is the new "PEX" tubing and PEX fittings which are now just crimped, no soldering or compression copper fittings.  Contractor even let me install a few valves but my weak strength on the Stroke Side I wasn't strong enough to properly use the crimping tool.     The 4 inch PVC line is the sewer line and the 2 inch is the Washing machine drain line tapped into the 4 inch and made sure they put in a P Trap to prevent sewage smell back up !!!!

.

.

Had to run 220V up for the dryer, the one we are replacing was a Gas dryer and I do not like Gas,  This is the Electric before we changed the wire spacing, put in required staples 6 inchs from electrical Box,  this was an electricians dream, I don't do electrical !

.

.

Great stuff, most cuts and 1 twist of the cutter on the pipe instead of many twists with the copper cutter and there is a loud "click" when the pipe seats itself in the connector !

.

Work done, electrical inspector here and all the pressure tests done, now off shopping for dryer and washer.
