My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Washing machine placement

12 years ago
How do you control vibration with the washing machine elevated in this manner?

    Maybe a silly question, but how did you plug in the washer/dryer? It appears that there is NO room to do this? Is the back open, or does the shelf come out and you just reach over?

      I just got a new washer and it doesn't vibrate at all. My 2004 model vibrated so much, I had to move it back into position regularly. These look brand new. Maybe that's the key.

      My 2004 does the same. Would you mind telling me the make of your new one? I have to stop mine every time it spins to save our house from our "mini earthquakes".

      I had a Whirlpool duet and just replaced it with a new model of the same brand. The new ones are all much more stable. I used a Bosch at a beach rental and found it didn't move at all.

      Ive been scouring the inet for an answer to washer/dryer hookups as well in confined spaces. No luck yet though
    • 12 years ago
      We're doing a similar design. If you look again, you'll see that the washer and dryer cabinet comes forward a few inches, which is probably designed to allow for the hookups behind it.

      Yes but how do you access them in an emergency? Do you have to pull out the washer and dryer? Thinking most people don't think they'll need to quickly access the valves which is why they're done this way.
