My first post, please be easy with me...

Some Background:
Year house built: 2006
State/County: Florida/Pasco
Experience: I'm pretty handy when it comes to fixing/building things around the house, but have really never done any drastic plumbing work besides fixing a leaky drain here or there and installing a pre-plumbed garbage disposal.

We would like to install a utility sink in our laundry room. First, a few pictures:

The Laundry Room - I would either install the sink to the right or left of the washer

Do you think this is something a DIY'er could tackle successfully, or would it be best to call in a pro? If I could tackle any suggestions on connections/installation materials? Thanks in advanced.

Also, if I go the pro route, any ideas on what kind of quotes I should expect, assuming they just pre-plumb it for me to actually install the sink?
 
You're going to have to open the wall up around the drain and water lines. You may be able to use the tee with the plug in it if the vent is 2". It's hard to tell from the photo.
