Laundry Makeover

Okay, so this will be a long process but I thought

I would share with you what is happening so far....

I recently purchased a condenser dryer and a wall

cupboard that houses an ironing board. The dryer can

 not be hung on the wall because it is a condenser dryer,

 not sure why but I best follow the rules....

 This meant that my laundry layout was not going to be

 very functional so I decided to try and sell my top

load washer that is only just 3 years old but not

 good for my space anymore....

This is what my set up looked like before with

the top load washer and no dryer....

Thanks to the power of Buy Swap and Sell

the washer was sold and ready for pick up....

The space doesn't look big enough

for that washer to have fit in....

My dryer arrived and I just sat it in there waiting

impatiently for my new washer to arrive, the washer

left Tuesday evening and we were without a washer

 for 4 days so it didn't disrupt things at all....

My new washer and accessories arrived on Friday so

what's a girl to do while she is home alone

 on a Friday evening?

Jacky Mister had gone away for the weekend

so I decided to start setting it all up....

A bit of a reshuffle in the space and the base drawer

was ready for the brackets to be fitted...

I love a bit of DIY on a Friday...LOL

My feathered friend CHOOKY arrived for a flying overnight

 visit so I put her to work because she was just in time for the

 dryer to be lifted up and fitted to my growing stack....

Base drawer unit.....Tick

Washer.....Tick

Slide out shelf joining unit.....Tick

Dryer.....Tick

I then pushed the white melamine cupboard back into

 the remaining space and it looked so wonky and uneven!

Talk about the "Leaning Tower of Peisley" 

Hmm! What to do because that would have driven me mad!

Nothing tonight because it was time for Chooky and I to

 head out for some pizza's and ciders, I think we had earnt them!

After Chooky left on Saturday morning I decided to tackle

 the wonky cupboard problem and so I  popped a couple of blocks

 under the left hand side and added a hanging rod between the

 wall and the cupboard to hold it all nice and secure until the

 next stage of the reno, that will see the cupboard and tub go

 and a corner bench and cupboard unit built with a new sink....

My ironing cupboard is waiting patiently for my builder

friend that should be in town in a week or so and hopefully

 he will get the sliding door sorted as well...

So much more room in there for activities!!!

I gave the washer and dryer a run on Saturday and the

good news is they both worked perfectly and were nice and quiet

and didn't rattle around at all so all in all a successful build....Yay!

The dryer is great, no moisture in the room at all, after the load

 there is a water container that you just empty in the sink....

Brilliant!

Watch this space for my ever evolving laundry makeover....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
