Here’s the result of yesterday’s work on the porch: Based on the available space, we decided to ditch the washer/dryer idea, spin the shower and expand its width, and move the double sink from beneath the two front windows to the shared wall with the bedroom so that we can add a medicine cabinet and mirror. The closet in the back half remains full-size, and there’s a normal-sized door splitting the two sections aligned with the chimney. Mr. Scout shimmed and leveled the floor to get it ready for the plumber, who (hopefully) can get started before the end of the week.
So, keeping the laundry in the basement then, or thinking of a third option?
Linda: Yeah, we’re going to have to keep the laundry in the basement. It’s not optimal, but we just couldn’t find a way to make it work up there (and closet space is more important in this house).
