Plumbing - ouch!

Plumber just called with his estimate for moving the washer & dryer to the pantry. $1240. He figures 2 guys for most of the day. In addition to running hot, cold, drain and gas, they have to cut a hole in the exterior wall for the dryer vent. The brick exterior wall.

We're going to see about a second opinion but I'm not overly optimistic.
