Utility Room

[DADoES]

Back when I posted pics of my house, someone asked to see the F&Ps in their room. The utility room decor got 'finished' this weekend, so here be the pics.

Looking in. The machines appear a little off-kilter, but the wall is a bit angled. If they're each set square with the wall, then they're skewed with each other, so I split the difference.

Storage and broom closets.

IWL12. I wish there was a sink!

Machines - IWL12 and DEGX1.

Machines again.

Looking out.

Broom closet. The door was taken off in a bathroom where two doors come together in an awkward way. And that's the Envirotech tankless water heater on the wall. Pulls 28,800 watts at maximum output (which rarely happens).

I have painted a similar color...

but have had to improvise on the window. We are doing our version of a trompe l'oiel /faux window but it is not done yet. When it is finished I will post a pic' if you would like to see the results. We chose a similar color of paint from Lowes called Pineapple Delight which has really cheered the room up considerably.

Ahh, to have cabinets over the washer again. In our current house we just have a few open shelves.
That's really cool looking! Very nice work! That F&P combo looks right at home in there.

Thanks for sharing Glenn, I love the room. Great having cabinets above the machines and I love the Jars you have the detergent in. Terry

sink

You know, Glen, it wouldn't ge hard to put in a sink, since the plumbing connections are right there. Go for it.

If you removed those cabinets next to the w/d, you could fit another pair in... Be the talk of the neighborhood with a pink or turquoise set!

Very nice, functional room, Glenn. I especially like the closets, many builders forget that there should be storage for things like vacuums, buckets, etc. that are handy to the living area.

beautiful !

Great Job, Nice cabinets. And how conscientious to have a demand style water heater. It looks like that closet used to be dedicated to the old style, expensive to operate(environmentally unfriendly), tank style water heater. And look at the space created with out it.

Excellence.

Beautius!

Is that dryer T/L? Nice machines.

Speaking of Envirotech instantaneous water heaters..how is that puppy wired?

28,800 watts? YAWZA!

May I be nosey?

Do you have 3-phase electrical service?

How many circuits does the water-heater require, and at what amperage total, and per circuit?

How much service comes into the house?

It's so nice to see a beautiful new (looking) house. Are they generally wood-frame or concrete by you?

In my area it's all about fixing up the old cruddy ones (always wood-frame for pvt homes, BTW) to get a good location/commute to the city. Land here is very expensive. A house itself can be built here for around $110 per square foot!

Thanks Glen.

Envirotech tankless water heater

I love your laundry room, Glenn! It looks like your hard work paid off.

That tankless water heater is cool, too!

So, not get off the subject, but how long do you have to wait for the hot water when you turn on a faucet? Is it longer than you'd wait if there was a hot water tank?

How hot is the water? Does it take extra time to get extra hot water for say the dishwasher?

Is it on a timer, or does it come on when it senses a faucet has been opened?

Nice, large, & "open" laundry room! For those who haven't seen it, it looks even better in person! Plenty of room for watching the washer!

"If you removed those cabinets next to the w/d, you could fit another pair in..."

There would definitely be room for a WO-65...;-)
