Our Retirement Home Part Thirty-Seven (Pantry & Laundry Room)





 
Finally after a lot of hard work we have completed the bathroom/laundry room just off the kitchen and living room. Getting the washer and dryer in without breaking the tile was fun and lifting the dryer up in its place upon the washer a real hoot for two old farts like us. Actually the worst part was getting the bill from the company that had to come in and hook up the dryer to our propane system! We also installed a humidifier, an Aprilaire, above the dryer that will vent into the rest of the house as we find it too dry in the winter. The tiles are the same as we will be installing in the kitchen and in the pantry, 24 inch Charisma. We ended up painting it a pretty blue that we thought went well with the colour of the tile. Lastly we installed a sliding door which will match the one we will put up for the pantry. What a relief to be able to get water for the kitchen without running downstairs. Now we have to work on actually getting a kitchen! Marie has decided to tape and mud the pantry, and as she has never done anything like this before I wish her much luck! But I have a feeling I will end up doing it! gws
