    My lovely wife was getting frustrated with all the clutter and dirt around, on and in the washer and dryer. They were lost in the garage beyond all the parts and pieces for my rusty truck. She thought it would be nice to have them inside away from all of that. as we all know, if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Thus began the "simple" task of knocking down the wall, turning the washer and dryer around, and then building a new wall. Not so simple.
    The plumbing ran through the concrete floor, and the garage floor sits lower than the interior floor. I needed to build an elevated base floor for the washer and dryer to sit on. Since the plumbing ran through the floor the new floor is even higher than the interior floor.
    The electric part was fairly simple, as the new wall was closer to the fuse box. I just had to disconnect them and pull up through the roof and run them down along the new wall.
    The toilet is in the way of even the smallest bifold door, and I need a bigger opening to be able to move the units in case of future repairs. I took 2 sets of doors and glued them together as one, and mounted it on the opposite side for clearance.
    Needless to say, Momma is thrilled. I will be too, once the upcoming weekends arrive that she is scheduled to work and I can get back to some "me" time.
