Final week was a bummer. However this week is shaping as much as be rather a lot higher with much more progress. Already this morning, I’m seeing progress on the walk-in closet and laundry space.
I’m hoping they will end eradicating the flooring and subfloor by the top of the day.
As soon as they get the vapor barrier, insulation, and new subfloor put in, they’ll be constructing a brand new wall about right here to separate the room into two areas. After which they’ll have so as to add {the electrical} shops and plumbing for the washer and dryer.
I can’t even let you know how excited I’m that by the top of this week, I’ll most likely have a laundry room. It’ll nonetheless want flooring, however that will probably be as much as me to put in and end the flooring. And I’ll be very motivated to get that achieved simply in order that I can get my washer and dryer moved in right here. Despite the fact that it’ll be some time earlier than I can end out the world (as a result of I need to do the bed room first), simply with the ability to transfer the washer and dryer out of the sunroom will really feel like an enormous enchancment.
One other factor that I’ll have them do whereas they’re right here is to middle the door into this room in order that it’s centered with the window and will probably be centered with the doorway between the closet and the laundry space.
And I’ve determined that I’m not going to place a door between the hallway and the walk-in closet, and I’m going to take that doorway all the best way as much as the ceiling to make the 2 entrances (into the closet and into the bed room) have a cohesive look.
The problem is that the doorway into the walk-in closet can’t go all the best way as much as the ceiling as a result of that wall is load-bearing and it will be manner too structurally difficult (and costly) to take away that high plate. So that they’re going to open it as much as the highest place of the wall and depart that uncovered for me to cope with. I have already got a plan for learn how to cope with that little hurdle.
Anyway, one factor that dawned on me this weekend is that I had deliberate to place hardwood flooring all all through this complete space, from the brand new bed room French doorways, all by the closet and laundry space, the hallway, and the bed room. So principally, all of this space within the orange.
However does that make sense to place hardwood flooring in a laundry space? Most laundry rooms don’t have hardwood flooring. I imply, it’s not utterly unprecedented, however tile appears to be the go-to flooring for bogs and laundry room.
So now I’m pondering that I would must plan for tile simply within the laundry space, which will probably be separated from the closet by a 15-lite pocket door.
Possibly I’m overthinking it. However perhaps not. I actually suppose I ought to put tile in that space, proper? I’ve by no means had a correct laundry room earlier than, so let me know your experiences. Have you ever had hardwood flooring in a laundry room earlier than? And in that case, was it an issue?
