Laundry Room

Above left, our brand new washing machine (Happy Birthday Kass!).  Above right, the dryer, and the new shelf we installed for our laundry baskets and other things.



On the weekend of May 10th, Kass finished grouting the Laundry Room floor, and cut and painted most of the floor molding as well.  Above left you can see the washing machine hookup and the dryer outlet which just needs a cover plate. Upper Right, Rick made a new window sill from a recycled floor joist, and cut the window trim for Kass to paint as well.  Below is the light fixture we hung in here some time ago.




Here you can see the Laundry room painted using the same color as the attached Kitchen.  We have the water fixtures installed and we're ready to hook up the dryer as well!

  
Kass finished mudding & texturing the Laundry Room, then primed it the weekend after Thanksgiving 2007.



Over the next week, Big Rick put up most of the sheet rock after work while Kass stopped off at Home Depot and picked up a pocket door to slide into the wall. 





On October 27th, Rick and neighbor Erin McCart built the wall between the Kitchen & the Laundry Room.

Caught in the act!
On the weekend of 10-07 Kass began taping and mudding the Laundry room.  Above left, caught in the act!  Above right, all done as high as she could reach without a ladder. :)



On the weekend of Jayden's 6th birthday, we completed hanging the sheetrock in the Laundry Room. 

We also picked up a pocket door frame for the wall we will build between the Laundry Room and the Kitchen.

Nicely done
A quick view of the laundry area with new & improved plumbing installed.  Kass installed the  incoming water lines with the new tool her dad gave her for x-mas!

Plumbing plumbed!
A quick view of the Laundry area with new plumbing installed.  We ran wires for the washer & the refirgerator that will go just to the left of this picture.  The dryer will have to be done another day as we don't have the wiring for that circuit on hand just now.

New window in place
 Matches nicely!
After a trip to the Rebuilding Center in SE Portland, Oregon, we found this window which matches the existing windows nicely, right down to the wavy quality of the glass!  Not bad for $35 and a two-by-four! <grin>

New area!
Here we've decided to push back the wall a little and put in a pocket door to close off the Laundry area, and use some of the room for the Kitchen.

Utility room Original Cabinet
The previous owners walled off this section of the room and created a bathroom.  We plan on turning this area into a laundry room.
 The green cabinet is original to the house.  We believe this area was originally part of the room we are calling the half bath. The door on the left took you into the kitchen.
