Thank you Dan!
I hope you're having a good weekend in spite of the fact you're likely dealing with home improvement stuff!
Ha ha
Thanks, Mike! My little laundry room home improvement is finished. I sort of started because of two things. The dryer timer doesn't work so the dryer needs to have a close eye kept on the time. I have to shut it down manually by opening the door or setting the timer to the Off position.
I called a repair company to fix it and then found schematics in the control panel housing. This was after watching some YouTube videos to find out a cause of my problem but what I found was videos explaining how to disassemble and clean a dryer. So I pulled the dryer out into the garage (a short distance) and took it apart.
It was full of lint, 10 years had passed without ever cleaning the guts of the thing. After doing this, I highly recommend taking your dryer apart every few years and cleaning it out.
So I went into cleaning mode. Then I looked at the empty room and the old arse cheap linoleum. It was in bad shape, holes in it, peeling a the edges. I just started ripping it out and being the cheap bastidge I am decided to put down the peel and stick tile. I've had pretty good results with them and they actually hold up well over years.
My daughter , said I should rip out the carpet in the house and replace with these peel and stick tiles. Umm... they are good for a small area but not to sure peel and stick tile for a whole house would be a good idea. Maybe it would.. I don't really know.
So the laundry room is now very clean, the washer and dryer too. They're back in place.
I ordered a timer for the dryer and should be replacing it within a week. The tile is is not super fancy, I'm not super happy with my choice of pattern or color, but it's done.. Just a damn laundry room anyway.
Here's a pic, not very inspirational. I spent probably 30 hours cleaning the room, the machines and laying the tile. It'll work.
Here's a, view. It's a bit distorted because I used the panoramic setting on my Iphone to take it. The room is truly not anything extraordinary. Just my laundry room and passage way between garage and house.
