The multiple sets of stairs in our four level home is great for exercise
and keeps the knees supple and limber.

Re: [MBZ] Laundry room Was: Fire extinguisher

2022-12-20 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes 
When I was young I rented a townhose with laundry hookups in an upstairs closet 
(machines not included).

I bought a used washer and dryer (surprisingly cheap in those days) and hauled 
them up the stairs with an appliance dolly. Not fun, but not too bad. The 
washer was the worst, it was an old Maytag and it seemed that the motor and 
transmission must have been made from cast iron. It was *heavy*. I don't recall 
what I did with them when I moved -- I moved out due to a relationship breakup 
so may have just left them for her to deal with.

Never understood these upstairs laundry rooms. I mean, I get the 
distance/convenience part, but having major appliances you’ve got to haul 
upstairs and the potential for leaks/damage if something goes south is a big

The previous owners of our house moved the laundry room from the basement
to a room right next to the upstairs MBR.  Makes washing clothes almost a

Re: [MBZ] Laundry room Was: Fire extinguisher

2022-12-20 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes 
We have a laundry chute that goes from the vanity in the 2nd floor bath 
down to a shelf in the basement above the freezer. I have often wondered 
if it is a fire hazard. If one had a fire in the basement, it would act 
like a chimney and permit the fire to spread upwards. I have thought 
about putting some form of trap door on the bottom but I expect my wife 
would strongly object.

This is the plan for the house up north. I plan to take the tub out and replace 
with a walk in shower. That'll make room for a stacked washer/dryer combo.

Upstairs bedroom will get a laundry chute too. My aunt and uncle lived in a
