Hi, I had a side by side washer / dryer. To save space, we purchased a stackable front loader set. I planned to put the set in front of the water supply. Currently, the gas line and the electrical sits behind where the dryer was, as well as the vent. I was going to open the wall and move the gas and electrical over 3 feet to be behind the dryer. The two questions I had were. 1. Is there anything I should look for when moving the gas? I'm decent with plumbing and drywall, but have never done a gas line before. I hoped to buy the piping at the proper length at home depot and have them thread it. Otherwise I may just have a plumber come. 2. Electrical I know very well. I have no problem cutting the wall and moving the outlet over. my question is does it have to be more than three feet from the water supply and drain for the washer? I could do that but would have to move it over, and then up about 4 feet. not a problem, just extra work. The vent I'd have to leave where it is because its a straight run, just have ot add some solid vent. If you're wondering why I want to do all this, I hope to add shelves and drawers to increase storage and having the electrical and gas in the way would limit that greatly. Thanks! Dave

Have the rough-in done with the pipe coming through the concrete slab with an opening slot cut into the concrete suitable for installing the drain from a tub (about 1' by 6"). Have built a surround for a jacuzzi and have everything I need to complete the job. According to my permit, I must have the surround framing completed before the plumbing which I've done. Ready to add backer and tile before I drop the tub in the opening connecting the "plumbing" which consists of hitting the waste pipe with the tub drain assembly after the inspection. Since I'll be using a bed of mortar to support the bottom of the tub, I'll have one chance to join the drains together. My question is: Since the jacuzzi with motor etc, is heavy, is there a trick/easy way to fit it without too much fumbling around? It seems like a very delicate thing trying to cement the pipes (PVC) and alligning the tub drain to the waste pipe while lowering the tub into the bed of mortar. Is it common to join the tub drain and waste pipe before lowering the tub into the surround? Also, what is the common fill material of the waste opening "slot" cut into the concrete after the drain assembly is in place. Appreciate any consideration you might offer.
