Laundry Room Reconfigured

Our laundry room presented several issues that needed addressed.

1) The Washer and Dryer were located in the pathway as you enter the room
2) The dryer vent was routed up the wall through the attic and out through the roof (about a 15-16’ run) which caused the dryer to run 2 cycles before drying the load.
3) The washer and dryer being located on a wall next to a bedroom made it noisy in the bedroom.
4) Even though the washer was leveled on the pedestal, it would shake the entire upper floor of the house when it would run the spin cycle.
5) The upper cabinet was not accessible because the Washer and Dryer stuck out so far into the room.

The whole project was done in 2 phases due to the fact that we needed to still use the room.

Phase One

- Remove the utility sink and base cabinet on the outside wall under the window
- Reconfigure the plumbing from the sink for the washer
- Run new electrical from the existing Washer and Dryer hookups to the new location.
- Add an additional outlet for Ironing.
- Connect the new Dryer duct into an existing fan duct outlet from the bathroom below (one way flappers on each side of the “Y” keep the exhaust air from flowing the wrong way)
- Patch walls
- Install wainscoting, baseboard, trim
- Paint
- Move Washer and Dryer to the new location

Phase Two

- Remove the upper cabinet
- Reconfigure base cabinets to fit into new location
- Paint all cabinets using HVLP sprayer
- Reconfigure old Washer hookups for sink
- Patch walls
- Paint walls
- Install cabinets and remaining wainscot and trim
- Make countertop and attach black laminate… install countertop
- Install black granite backsplash
- Install sink
- Touchup paint

DONE!!!
