Permanent Fixture

Two posts in one day!  Boy are you lucky!!

So the Hubster went to work today... only to call me when he got there to tell me he doesn't work today.  Whoops!

He came home, ate the fabulous dinner I made, and started moving stuff in the laundry room.

I was quickly asked for help.  We have a lot of crap in the laundry room.  The majority is going to be thrown out.  Geesh.  What did I think I was going to need 17 pasta sauce jars for???  I hope it is recycling week!  Anyway....

After pushing things around and moving them this way and that way and several curse words we got the pedestal in.  And then we got the dryer up pretty easily.  Until we realized one of the shelves needed to come down.  Fine.  Sigh.  All the more reason to get rid of those 17 jars, right?

Then we called the neighbor (at 9:15 at night.  Oops.) and he and his 19 year old son came over.  Thank goodness.  The washer was up in no time.  But goodness do they make those dang things heavy!

I'll stop rambling.  Here it is!

And let me tell you.  It is never moving again.  Permanent fixture.

Smaller Project

Before we really get moving on the bathroom at the end of the month, the Hubster decided to make a laundry pedestal.

I am super duper excited about this.

Which is probably really super duper lame.  But I'm ok with that.  I will embrace it.

When we bought our fancy front loading pair just over three years ago I wanted the pedestal.  Of course.  And I don't remember how much extra it was.  But it was not in our newly one income home budget.  So we skipped it.  And I have been stooping ever since while doing the laundry (insert whine and cheese joke here).

So with the fabulous invention of pinterest I found a link to make a pedestal!

Thank you Ana White!  Here it is!

I'm not sure I'll put cute words on the front.  But the Hubster has done a great job.  I wanted it white so it would match the cabinets we have in there.

Please excuse the messy garage.

I have not quite figured out how we are going to get the washer/dryer on top.  We may have to enlist some help from friends.  Those suckers are heavy.  

But man.  I cannot wait to see how it looks!
