Forum Bathrooms and Laundry 1 May 09, 2011 2:17 pm Hi everyone, We're currently renovating our laundry. On Monday next week we are getting a plumber in to move the laundry tub taps about 10cm to the right (so that we can have our laundry tub flush into the corner). We also want to move our washing machine taps and would prefer if they weren't seen at all. Where exactly should we have our washing machine taps moved to? Behind the washing machine? Somewhere else? By the way, here is what our laundry currently looks like. You can see the tub taps are on the right and the two on the left are the washing machine taps.

There is a small hole in the left side of the cabinet to feed the hoses through. So far it's worked a treat! This option was standard with our build, so I cannot give you a price on how much it would normally cost, but if you wanted to do it, now would be the time to!

In reality can't say I ever do this though - but my mum does it religiously. ![]() Re: Washing machine taps - where are yours located? 7May 09, 2011 3:29 pm LOL my mum does that religiously too helyn but I don't. I would forget to do it wherever they were though ![]() "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." — Elizabeth Gilbert Living in our new house.
