Tight closet for washer and dryer combo-suggestions please.
Comments (1)I don't see a problem with that. Just had a look at a Whirlpool installation manual and it said to leave one inch at each side, but that is just to reduce noise transfer not safety issues. Electrolux even says zero clearance in needed. Just make sure you have enough room (opening) for the dryer's air intake and try to keep the vent hose air straight and short as possible.

Comments (11)To me it looks like there is plenty of room in that closet. You will need to pull everything out and put it back in. but this time, start by hanging another bar from the hang bar so you have double the hanging space. Arrange your hanging clothes by type and color. In the remaining space, find shelves to house the rest of your things....See MoreSpace too tight for master shower and tub?
Comments (11)Thanks. I revisited today and think a low profile built in tub makes the most sense (especially after I ditched the "future buyers/renters might want" part). My GC believes we can fit a 3' x 4' shower plus a 5-foot tub, so I guess I'll trust him and start choosing tile, faucets, etc.! As for that window in our oversized water closet....it was already installed when I arrived today. We have a full-sized window door at the shower end of the bathroom, so at least that will offer plenty of light on that end. Another photo of this space. Still trying to decide whether to place tub on right or left. If I place it on the left, my ears will have a bit more peace when my husband takes his 4:30 am shower. But if I place the shower on the right, we can do a sloped floor drain and do the open/curbless shower thing (trying to years ahead)....See MoreTight space around appliances
Comments (8)It's a new build. They measured then cut/polished at the shop. We are reluctant get them to remove.. it's all installed and tiled. We did have basetrim but i removed it to get the inch on the left. The main question is .. should we expect an impact sound/vibration .. if so .. what can we do about it. Is there something available we can use to reduce. We are home owners .. building ourselves.. we measure/re-measured but missed checking the counter when it was installed in the rush.. Googling this websites are saying an inch between machines, but we don't have that luxury. thanks...See MoreMizLizzie
