Hooray For Our New Laundy Room

The inspriation behind my poll at right is the start (or rather picking up where Charlie left off) of our new laundry room.

We have hired Tim the Toolman (nope not the one from TV, he's local) to relocate our laundry from the basement to the second level of the house. I figure we dress upstairs, undress upstairs, fold laundry upstairs, put clothes away upstairs...why on earth should we trek all the way to the basement to wash it?!?

The third bedroom is losing about 2/3 of its closet, and the room itself will be about 12 square feet smaller, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. It is a large secondary bedroom to begin with and has a closet nearly the size of the master. Plus, eventually we will be able to re-do the bathroom in the basement and move the shower our of the water heater closet, too.

The room should be completed in 2-3 weeks, and I'll post before and afters.
