I been working on my laundry area and hope to have some pics soon. I covered in the rough franing on the inside walls (it on a covered patio) primed the walls and covered the area around the sink with bright colored tiles to enhance the spanish influence of the house. Im off to get some terra cotta grout and paint, and a bit of trim too. Im trying to get this area ready for laundry equipment rather than to get it first and have to work around it.... tee heee, progress in well on its way. Hope u all are enjoying the projects U have going as well. I know its the holidays, BUT i dont expect that to hamper the efforts of this hard working crowd. See ya all soon, Nathan

      h aaaa haaa. Its lets say better, No where near as nice as your kitchen. Also my being in so cal my laundry area is a outdoor one for the most part. I havent been able to load any pics cuz my puter is farting out on me. I got more than i expected back on my taxes whish is a blessing. The problem is it was a bit too much... meaning it left me with a nice round figure in the bank, so I dont want to spend ANY!!!!!! lol. Im not complaining , just using it as an opportunity to save. = ). basically my laundry area is a outdoor patio that the previous owner semi enclosed. Problem was they only semi finished the outside w plywood, and left the inside framed in and lots of nooks and crannies to harbour acracnid and the lot. All Ive done is plywood the inside, make a large open section to let some natural light in, tile round the sink and prime ant paint. Its no beautiful launderette, but its alot nicer than it was, and easier to keep clean. I'll try and get my friend to take some digital pics and email them to me so u all can get a good laugh,,,,,lmao. Hopefully I'll get some extra cash soon and actually spend some big bucks so I have some real nice pics to share. I havent even got the washer or dryer yet..... I keep flip flopping if i want side by sides, or stackable. Plus since i dont want top of the line (I dont want to move them and will leave them when i sell, hopefully 1 1/2 years) so i keep getting the "Oh you dont want THAT model" from the wonderful appliance sales people,,,,,lol, so I get snotty and leave...... I hate that bait and switch thing...my motto is If it was good enuff to advertise, its good enuff for me...tee hee. Thanks for sharing your pics lorinda. Oh did i mention I'm moving in w YOU?

        Hey you can move in, if you promise to do all my grouting for me! A live-in grouter. that can be your job title. *laughs*

        wow, you got money back???? lucky you! savings???? whats that??? I've accepted the fact that i will have a 30-year mortgage for the rest of my life. *sigh*

        Are you really going to sell in a year or so? what made you decide to sell? that takes the fun away when doing projects, you dont want to make them too wild. Its hard for people like us to think "neutral"...
