Ron, you are always so timely! We have a small laundry room, are on a tight budget, and still managed to make great improvements (just this past weekend!) including adding in a wall ironing board (purchased from a home salvage for $40) and making a drop down drying rack (Home Depot project; $25). Tile and paint ran us less than $75, and the cabinet/ counter top are next. I just need a great discount place for those, and we're set! Thanks for your continued inspiration!

Ron, what are the locking brackets called for the folding table and where can I get them.

No way, in our cold winter climate, would one opt for moving the plumbing to an outside wall!
I would have gotten stacking front loaders, and used the original plumbing. Then worked cabinets and table space next to them.

We use the kitchen for the washing & drying but we wish we had more room fro a wash room.
Thanks Ron for the info.

My daughter has a front load washer. Ron's right - they take up a lot of space - are much larger front to back than a top loader.

Always amazes me that modern laundry rooms don't have a stationary tub or some type of sink. Where do people pre- soak small items or hand wash that very delicate item?

I love what you did with your space. My laundry room is almost exactly like yours, and I would like to change the location of my appliances just like you did. I'm wondering, what was your total cost for this remodel, less the new appliances, if you don't mind sharing?? Our house is on a slab so I am assuming the pipes, etc are all in the walls. How much more labor intensive would this be to change? Could you also update as to how the space is still working for you now that you've been able to use it for a few weeks, if you would do anything different now. And of course how does that iron measure up. I love the idea of a cordless iron, just not sure it would stay hot enough to get through big ironing tasks. Thank you

Leave it up to a man for a cordless iron. With all the safty features on a regular iron they are seldon hot enought for any qick ironing job. With a cordless I can not imagine it beting hot enough. Great video thanks.

I Loved your use of space and ALL the ideas you had. Not everyone need to go to all the movement you did so I think this was a very useful project. Thanks Ron

Did I miss something??? You mentioned that the "Front loading" washer door would be a tight squeeze. But isn't the Dryer a "Front load" also???? So why will one work but not the other????

Sorry guys, I liked the project and am going to incorporate some of the ideas in our new home construction. As far as too expensive goes, look around for similar products that might fit the bill. Or use the plan, piece meal, building portions of it that you can afford. The folding table for instance. There are a lot of similar products out there that you can use, for instance, the ironing board. You can find a lot of less expensive products - use the internet and look on ebay, you'd be surprised what you can come up with.

Well done. This project had enough of the details to get people to know what they are going to get into.

Ron, I can not find the model you show in the picture. Where did you find it and what is it made of. Thanks, Nick

Thank you for the tip on the Wall Hanging Dryer. I have been trying to find something that would add to my laundry room. I had no ideal there were such things as that. Also, thanks for the news letter.

If I could afford all the equipment needed to do that remodel and had all the training Ron had to do it, I'd be self- employed and not need this video! What happened to demonstrating ways of doing improvements that the average home owner could try? And most of us are on a budget......

It appears that the hanging rack is right above the ironing board. This would be awkward when trying to hang an ironed garment and then iron the next garment with the rack above the ironing board and yourself. Although it would work well when just hanging no iron clothes after drying.
