Well, after a couple weeks of planning and waiting (no very patitently mind you.) Me and my dad finally got around to remodeling the laundryroom! Here's how it turned out...
My new laundryroom!!!! YAY!!!

By the time I finish, I will have used 20 inlet hoses and 16 Y connectors.
Wooo!!! Looking good Jamie! Looks like you've had plenty of fun; wish I had a laundry like that then perhaps I'd have room for a toploader and a 30lb Speed Queen Loadstar!!

I love it! Hopefully, my laundry room will look like that one fine day.
Great job. Keep the pictures coming.

Jamie, that looks like a lot of work! You guys really had a chore on your hands with all that broken concrete 'goin on.
The end result looks good and I know you will enjoy using the room now.

Looks great! I can't imagine how much work it must have been bashing that triple sink to pieces. You have a great collection of machines (even if the Haier is a POS, LOL)
Good going junior!
Much fun with your new playroom.

What a nice Dad you have helping you with your passion like that instead of looking at you like you came from outer space.

James, looks great. Glad you will now have plenty of room.

Jamie,
Since you can solvent-solder plastic pipe, what about doing the water-supply side with PVC pipe (in the same manner)?
If it makes you nervous to DIY you could always cut the water off with some good ball valves to relieve the pressure on the piping.

Well, I'd like to, but, I've already bought 18 out of 20 of the inlet hoses, plus, this way I can change the setup at anytime!

WOOHOO! Congratulations on the awesome new setup you have there...looks very flexible as far as adding more machines! Can't wait to see that 1-18 up and running! Are you going to do a "lineup" along the wall? ;-)
I wouldn't worry about the suds backing up too much...happens here occasionally as well. Strangely enough, it's been happening less frequently than it did when I ran my first load down there. Will probably be the same way for you.

Toggle, we ran PVC for the hot and cold supply lines down there, and while it's great for permanent connections, it has very limited flexibility. That and the narrow-diameter standpipes are two reasons why I can only have 1 machine per hookup. I still have one machine per hookup now, but when there are more, it will mean a lot of "rotation"! LOL
Cool Dad
Hey Pulser,
Super Job. I broke up a two holer sink and it was a lot of work and the dust and grit was endless.
I am really impressed at your dad's willingness to help and support you in the everchanging and never ending life of a collector.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jamie, wow that looks just great, I remember doing that kind of work in two houses, your dad sure is nice to help you! How many hookups do you now have?
Great job, Jamie - you'll soon have too many machines for even the extra two you squeezed in!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!!! I'll be able to have 8 machines hooked up right now, but perhaps with a little magic of my own I'll be able to get another machine in. Both my parents are absolutely wonderful when it comes to getting, repairing, and setting up my machines. My mom is nice enough to be allow me to have them in her house as well as be careful not to scratch them, use heavy chemicals in them and not to overload them when she uses them. My dad is kind enough to help me transport them and fix them up! We are gonna give my 1-18 a paint job soon to get rid of all the rust spots, perhaps give it a little WD-40 Lithium here and there, and get it running right again!
On another note, an appliance repairmen came to fix both our refrigerator and our Whirlpool dryer. When he saw my collection and asked me about them and I explained my obsession, I was offered at job at MasterTech!!!! (local repair shop) He said that they would take me around and teach me how all the different machines worked and how to take them apart and put them back together. He aslo said that he would glady keep an eye out for older machines to give to me a call if he found one of interest as he quite often sees old Maytags, GEs, Whirlpools, Kenmores, and even GM Frigiaires!!!! YAY!!!
