I was ready to finish up this project. I wrapped the Teflon tape around the threads of the new valve and screwed it in the copper pipe. I tightened it down and made sure the outlet of the valve was in the same location as before. I went downstairs and turned the water on again…

The next day, as the sun shines down through the window of the door, I noticed something strange about the floor. Just as you entered the laundry room the flooring had wrinkles. I went down on my hands and knees and ran my hand across the floor. Yup, those were definitely wrinkles. Well, more like…

The washer was next to be put in place. I wheeled it in and aligned it to the opening. I attached the water hoses and turned on the water in the laundry tub cabinet. No leaks. I put the discharge hose into the laundry tub and pushed the washer in place. The lid for the…

The following morning, I was ready to get the laundry room back into place. Unfortunately, we had some visitors, and it delayed my chance to finish up. As our visitors were here, I kept saying to myself, “I have plenty of time, I have plenty of time.” Once they left, Efiwym, my wife asked if…

After Efiwym, my wife, finished with Thursday’s wash, the time clock was set to get the flooring done in the laundry room. I had until Tuesday morning to complete the project. I had a good three days to finish, so I thought I could easily get it done. The first thing that needed to be…

Every time I cleaned the floor in the laundry room, I hated that the floor was worn out in front of the washer and dryer. I am not sure why I hated it so much, maybe I knew I needed to replace it, and I recognized it would not be a fun DIY project. To…

Efiwym, my wife, was out doing something she loves to do, bargain shopping. I decided this would be a perfect time to get the shelf in the laundry room cabinet. This should be an easy and fast DIY project. Install some shelf pins, cut a shelf and install. But first I needed to clear out…
