Why, you MAKE room of course!!! I've begun tearing out the closet under the stairs where an oil tank was installed when the house was built for heating!
What do you do when you run out of room in the laundryroom?

Had to play musical chairs with the washers so mom wouldn't be without a machine...
Tearing down the walls...
Cutting out part of the old plumbing...
Walls gone, a clear view of the oil tank... We decided it would be more cost effective to pay someone else $25 to remove it and haul it away rather than try to remove it ourselves and then cover the hospital bills!
Tank gone, getting ready to put in the new plumbing which will allow for 9 or MAYBE 10 machines! (versus 8 with the old set up)
Almost done with the plumbing...
BTW, the pipes leading to the oil tank required 2 brand new hacksaws and 4 hours of sawing! I was in pain for quite a while...

Everything moved back in and hooked up!!!
The whole reason I did this remodel, so I can put my Aunt Laurie's Norge here!

Excellent Junior!
I'm guessing you meant the legs of the tank required tons of work?
Now who can we get to volunteer to pipe in some water for you to look and work as well as your drainage system/pipes?
I am always happy for you when a new toy come in!

Not the legs Steve, the two pipes on top required hacksawing in 2 places each!

I did all the drain work myself! My dad taught me the first time around (that plumbing I ripped out) then I redid it by myself! I just gotta go buy one more support, some of the pipe is resting on a box with some boards holding it up right now. lol
A regular handy man! You go boy! Lookin good. Nice to see some of my product in your laundry room

Urban Legend?
The oil delivery man who misreads the address, connects up to the exterior pipe fitting formerly connected to the missing oil tank, and dumps his entire load into the basement while waiting for the level to come up.
So legend or not, make sure the exterior connection is removed, welded shut, or ??? to discourage such things.

IIRC....
The PVC primer/cleaner is purple so when the plumbing inspector visits, he knows that the PVC was properly prepped prior to the gluing.
and boy can you get high on that stuff without proper ventilation!!!!

Purple glue colour...
Aha, thanks for the explanation. I have seen that glue in other pictures too and I wondered because it is so clearly visible. Jamie has done a neat job here, but when the glue is less skillfully applied it looks messy.
PVC glue is colourless/invisible here btw.
