^ I know that lucky feeling. Our washer/dryer used to be in the basement and I tended to let laundry stack up. About 4 yrs ago, Hubby built me a laundry room in an unused storage room in our house and it truly has revolutionized doing laundry! No more going to the dungeon! Now I can pop a load in while I am getting ready for work, or just about anytime and it is so nice! I still thank him several times a week for that laundry room. It is one of the best things he's done to this house!

We miss you PD!
