We moved into a old mobile home that has no washer or dryer hookups. We have a shed where we can put the appliances but do not have any electric (220) for the dryer and (110) for the washer or drain pipe for the washer.

Call an electrician and a plumber and get estimates. There are to many variables to answer here. Someone has to see it to answer your question. Don’t forget the hot and cold water supply to the washer. And whether your local building code will allow it at all.

Ask a plumber to do–you need to go below the frost line to prevent freezing. Electric needs to be shielded and grounded to prevent electrcuting people walking on wet ground. Not an easy job.

I know several people that can do this by themselves, but keep in mind that if your not certified in electricity you could good, but I will explain how relatively simple it is.
You will need to look at your gang box and see if you have a slot open for one 220 breaker and an extra slot for the 110 breaker.
Thats the very first thing you must do. Your not going to jump on to any other breaker…thats a no no and will casue or can cause a fire.
If you have available slots you may run wire from the bottom of your Gang box to your shed for each unit. and travel it under ground.
Two things to remember.
1. Make sure you buy the proper wire needed for the job.
Lowes has the wire for 110 and 220 volts.
All you have to do is snap your breaker in the slot and hook it up. Sound simple enough?
As for the drainage…you can run that pipe on the ground and water your grass.
