here is my laundry room off the master bedroom We had this designed when we built the house to avoid those long trips to a laundry romm which may have located next to the garage. You don't keep your clothes in the garage, so why should you do laundry there?

Acquaintances in town here have two washer/dryer pairs. One in the 'formal' utility room behind the kitchen (GE FilterFlo pair of 1980s vintage). Another set in an alcove to the side of their master bedroom (Whirlpool washer, don't recall the dryer, may also be a GE, I don't think it was a matched pair).

Why yes ofcourse!
Here's the link to my laundry corner. It's in a corner of the bathroom, very convenient near the bedrooms!

drain facility
Does anyone have or want a drain-hole in the floor of their laundry room? Have never seen, but seems logical. (esp. when on 2nd story) Hi Acerone! Nice to see copper rather than plastic pipes! Will you be insulating (thermally and acoustically) interior room-dividing walls? Can I assume the dryers are to be electric? Is one or the other preferred by serious collectors? Tks. | ||

My friend has a drain hole in the center of her laundry room. It looks sleek, especially since there is no threshold on the door to the adjacent great room. However, whoever designed the floor drain steeply sloped the floor to it (good!) and made leveling the washer and dryer all but impossible to do properly (bad!). But, in the big scheme of things, I guess I'd rather have an off-kilter tub and dry rest of the house if any mishaps should occur... (Besides, you guys have seen my "skills" at leveling machines on even perfectly flat floors--why stop a trend?) | ||

Now THAT'S a laundry room! Acerone: Boy, am I jealous! You can never have too many w/d hookups! Can't wait to see the end results! Venus | ||

Twenty or so years back a retiring friend of mine sold their house in the suburbs and moved into a highrise one bedroom condo, a tiny one at that. Plans were a lot a of traveling in a new motorhome. The condo bathroom wasn't much bigger than a walk in closet but they had the place redone, the wall behind the bathtub was knocked out into the bedroom closet so they had a large jacuzzi tub installed, a new toilet and a new vanity and sink built over top of a f/l washer and dry set, hidden behind cupboard doors. Don't remember what make the machines were but they were probably Mieles. No one would ever have known the washer/dryers were below the vanity, the added height of the counter and sink wasn't really noticeable either.The kitchen job was also amazing, the condo had only a tiny walk thru galley fitted with apt size fridge, stove. When it was done there were full sized stove, fridge and dishwasher, built in nutone food prep and the lost cupboard space was made up by new cabinets to the ceiling.

Gas meters
Gas meters, BTW come in "sizes" Mom and Dad's house had oil heat and hot water via an instantaneous coil(in the hydronic boiler). The coil was notorious for not producing enough hot water for a two family house that had three baths, two kitchens a DW and a T/L washer. Since cooking and dryer were gas, my parents added a gas-fired storage-type water heater with a 75 gallon capacity [somewhat over-kill, but not hugely]. It was about 75,000 Btu/h (heat input) As a reference point you can heat a small house with about 100,000 Btu/h, a dryer uses 22,000 Btu/h and a stove's borners are about 12,000 Btu/h per burner. (so figure 60,000 btu/h max use.) When all three gas-burning appliances were going the gas meter was straining and making a lot of noises. The flames on the appliances had a slight pulsing to them. By law here they get changed every so many year/decades. So it was replaced by one with a creater capacity down the road and it became silent and the pulsating flames went away. Apparently inside there are two diaphragms that are nect to each other... as one fills it forces the gas out of the other. At a certain point there is a level in there that re-directs which "bag" is emptying and which is filling. If anyone has a link with a pictorial as to how these work, I'd love to request it... | ||

why not one of each? Nothing like gas to toast some towels and jeans. extra low on a Kitchen aid can not be beat for knit polo's and such. We live in a house that is total electric, but i miss the gas for the towels and jeans. alr2903. | ||

capacity I remember you were worried that your drainline wouldn't be able to carry away the water fast enough, did that work out OK? | ||

Could have saved some space You may have been able to save some space. Speed Queen is the only brand I know of that makes a stack dryer for the home. Two dryers in the same spot as one. NICE! CLICK HERE TO GO TO cleanclothes's LINK | ||

sconces Since in the first shot I don't see any gas lines, I would assume the the upper boxes are for 30 amp dryer outlets, since the lower boxes are obviously 120 volt outlets | ||

My wife thinks I'm a little batty too. I have convinced her to let me have ONE vintage washer in the garage. I'm waiting for my dream Kelvinator. Where in Arkansas are you? | ||
