Thanks everyone, The patio is painted concrete.....DH did it when he first moved into the house...it actually needs repainting because its chipping in some places...but its been there for about 5 years...I love it too...so bright and cheerful :-)

FYI- if you buy a regular front loader and dryer you could replace those separately no matter if they are installed side by side or stacked. Don't think you need a stacking pair now, but it might be good for those who read this later. I would also build a platform (very sturdy one !) to raise up the washer dryer about 12-16". It will be a lot easier to load and unload the machine especially for aging in place people. I'd also consider waterproofing the floor of that room . Folks - for those of you weirding out about tankless water heaters not being able to supply enough water or messing with washers. Get a grip. Most of those case are due to faulty plumbing system design. A water heater supplies hot water , the washer doesn't know or even care if it comes from gas or solar or electric power, tank or tankless or even a hybrid. The washer's valve opens and calls for hot water and starts to fill. If the water in the line is cold that's what goes in the drum first until the heater pushes hot water thru the line. If, and it's a big if, there is already hot water in the line , giants what'll go in the drum. BUT , there's no guarantee there will be hit water in the line. If your faucet is plumbed on the same line and you run it before the washer there will be hot water in the line and this is true whether you have a tank or tankless heater. Now, if you have a home run system with a dedicated line for the washer, then it (the washer) has to purge the line of cold water before hot water can arrive at the tub. This is where some people have difficulty with tankless heaters as they tend to be in home run type systems. If your pipe to the washer is large or very far away from the heater the washer's draw will not be enough to purge the line of cold and the washer will not see hot water. This IS NOT the tankless' fault. The same situation will occur in THAT house with a tank type heater ! It's the design of the plumbing system that is at fault ! You need a short run, or a recic. line , or pipe your nearby faucet off of the same line as the washer AND run it before turning on the washer. Stop blaming the equipment. It's the professional design that is lacking.

You aren't "passing them off" as yours unless you are trying to use them to solicit business, really. I have seen people post plans with their last name and address on them. I think privacy is a good idea. Post them and let people know that if they are interested you can give them the name of the professionals involved.

Robbi, nice to hear from you! You have been a busy lady...your quilt is just lovely! Love what you made for your Mom as well. Welcome back...don't be a stranger. v.
