You are a role model for change. Well done!!
Today I ordered a bigger toilet that’s taller like I had in the house. The bathroom sink is cracked so ordered a new one and needed a new faucet since the old one won’t fit. I also am getting a new light. I love the vanity and stone countertop that’s there. That’s all I am doing to the bathroom. The bathtub is very low and the tile around it fine so decided that spending at a minimum 5k and probably more wasn’t worth it to me. My son doesn’t know how long he is staying so I am getting all my work done while I have a free handyman:)).
Totally agree! And agree with the "you are a role model for change".Quote:

In the month I have been here I have done 4 loads and only dry towels, sheets, undies, socks and pjs so don’t think it would be worth the expense.
Are you short on closets? The convenience of my own laundry would be worth it especially with having the dogs and stuff that they mess. Also, it may add value to your condo as a feature available now but possibly not later due to changes by the HOA.Quote:

that is an interesting note of changes the hOA could make. In my condo building, washer dryer hook ups were allowed for some years but now are no longer allowed because they don’t want to drill into the historic brick.Quote:

My condo only has 3 closets and my son is taking up half of one by leaving some of his tools, etc when he leaves. Considering that I have only done 4 loads in a month it doesn’t seem worth it. The plumbing in my bathroom is not on the wall that shares the closet so my son said moving the plumbing is a big expense.
When I was in the house I used cloth pads but now use disposable ones here. So laundry is only costing me 11/month. I throw the dog beds in with my towels and their clothes in with my pjs. Maltese are not real dogs so never get in dirt, mud or water when walking them:)). In fact they refuse to walk in bad weather. My kids will inherit the condo so I don’t care about resale value. When I had a big dog he did make laundry for me.
