Mitzi saw this pic and had an idea. She wants to see if we can have a laundry sink installed in the laundry room. We'd remove one of the cabinets and buy a matching washer so we could stack the washer and dryer. She's not fond of using the kitchen sink to empty buckets or containers of water that was used to clean the floors.

Frankly, I don't know why we bought such a large washer and dryer in the first place, except we did it without thinking about it. It seems like our default setting is to "go big." I'm sure there will be times when we may wish we had the larger dryer. LG makes a 7-something cubic foot model, but I think yesterday showed it should be adequate for most of our regular needs.

I think the room can accommodate a sink, but it'd be a significant plumbing renovation. Obviously, water and a drain are present. The stack would go on the right. A lot of drywall would have to be removed to make the plumbing alterations, and I suspect water to the house would be off during that effort. Shouldn't take more than a day though. The drywall replacement would take another day probably. Her project though. I'm sure it'll be pricey and that may be the deciding factor.
