My laundry room has been gutted (full story in my journal) and I found the taps for the washing machine were behind a cupboard. This is stupid, no access if they leak. So while the room is being ripped apart and put together again, I want to move them. There is a false wall where all the plumbing is tucked away (outside wall is well insulated, false wall is open at bottom, so no worry about freezing pipes). There are two choices: 1. move to above the washing machine, but hide them in the cavity, and have an access panel, or 2. bring them out to the room and have the hoses visible. The plumber is coming today,and he may tell me only one option works for this room, but it is nice to know what works well and what doesn't work well.
So question - which situation do you have and do you like it? Would you prefer the other situation?
PS I can post pictures if that would help.
PPS I am also changing the hoses to the washing machine, replacing old rubber ones with the metal mesh ones.
