Here's the daunting LAUNDRY ROOM. Seriously, it needs help. And that's just fine with me! I'd like a cheery place to do laundry, so if at any time you have suggestions, please comment.
Here's the monster furnace which is right behind the door. It's not like I can paint a mural on it or anything, but I do know how to change the filter (including the one for the humidifier and the hose for the humidifier so it doesn't spit out mold into the house).
And to the left when you walk in the room. Yuck. Immediate yuck. I've bleached the floors already and I pretty much dust for cobwebs weekly. Ew. Ew. Ew.
And look at that green trim. What a riot! Living in a house from 1949 is half funny and half not-so-funny, especially when you get down into the basement and see the hideous the colors! I'm hoping to seal the cement walls, put down peel & stick tile on the floor, and then paint the walls. Oh, and get an energy efficient tankless water heater.
And the other side by the furnace. More yuck.
Look at those mint green walls. By the way - that's the fresh air intake for the furnace if you're wondering what that ugly tubing is. Behind it is the electrical box.
See, this furnace is HUGE. HUGE.
Nigel won't even come in here. Poor guy, he's kinda scared.Oh, well. In the future it won't be so scary.
To Do List:
1. Seal the cement walls.
2. Get a new washing machine
3. Get a tankless water heater
4. Peel and stick tile on the floor
5. Paint the walls a cheery color and um, get rid of the green trim.
6. Possibly invest in nice shelving.
And welcome to 1949. There's even rigid slats on the utility sink to wash clothes BEFORE there were washing machines.
Happy Tuesday!
BTW - wait until you see the first floor bathroom... IT'S PINK!!! AND MAROON!!!

We broke apart our big cement tub and put a nice CLEAN white plastic one in. It was a evening project...although don't break it up when it's cold because you have to haul all that concrete outside and to the dump.
