It can be done by locating the laundry tub exactly on the opposite side of the same wall as the washing machine supply lines and drain pipe in the garage (if a lantana is the same as I worked on). It requires opening a 1.5 sq ft hole in the sheet rock, making the necessary plumbing additions and then sealing the wall back up. It is a job for a plumber and is very labor intensive. I did it once successfully but not again. 4-6 hrs in a garage this time of year is no fun
