Is there a reason you can not put toilet in laundry room, does it matter if it is gas or electric? - Trying to put sink and toilet in laundry room inspector says can't do it if gas, is that true and how can it be done? HELP »
William Hill Cawood, Architect heh--Gailsharon45-the inspector could have missed the gas dryer, could not have cared, could not have know of code requirements. a common misconception by homeowners and/or business owners involved in a construction project is that a building inspector "inspects" a project-they do not. They often just look briefly at a few items, because they know that ultimatly they have zero responsibility---you can thank the legal concept of sovereign immunity. But, if they say it is code and it is required in the actual code text, then you are generally required to comply.
for a short example, I was recently at a job site, and in our area insulation inspections are required. The inspector came in, looked around and said "yep, its insulated" and then asked the contractor for the inspection card to sign. took all of 30 seconds, and no checks of r values, ventilation gaps, missing insulation, ect. the sub-contractor could have stripped the insulation in half (seen it done before) and done the job for half the materials.
Artisan Kitchens LLC These doors were a standard configured pre-primed MDF door from an interior door company, that I specified to have frosted (obscure) glass panels. I believe they're from The Millenium Collection http://millenniumdoors.com/
Stacking the washer and dryer on top of each another in a small bathroom optimizes floor space. Using frosted glass doors to hide the laundry area keeps light bouncing around.

Stackables. I wonder if these would work for us. Not sure what the capacity of this size washer would be. The dryer too for that matter. Living out in the country away from town may pose a problem if articles to wash are to large for these machines. Then we would have to travel into town to do laundry. Ugh!
