Good job, Z!
Maybe you invented something that needs to be marketed?I actually had a dream last night about finding out some tool I had was also a pressure sprayer. Alas, no such tool exists.
It looks like proper plumbing. Where did you find the plumbing pieces in Sketch Up?So, I've been thinking about it and I've decided that trying to run the drain pipe and vent all the way to the other wall would just be too much of a pain. It will interfere with the dryer vent if I do it that way. So the easiest way to do it, IMO, is to run it to the left of the window & slap an AAV on top. AAV will be above the shelf so it can be accessed more easily.
Instead of using wooden boards for the shelves, I can use PVC board. It is not as sturdy, but it is waterproof. They sell them thick enough that a single board cut to fit around the window should work. I will have a hole cut for the drain hose to come up and in to the box. I will also have desk grommets for the water supply lines to go from the shutoffs to the washing machine. Above the box up to the left will be a 20A GFCI outlet. A hole will be cut behind the left side of the washer box to run the cord for the washing machine up to the outlet.
This is the latest configuration idea:

The box washer box will likely be pushed up against the wall to the left if there is enough space. Will have to see how much room there is after the cutout for the cord.
This is the rough sketch of what would be behind the washer & dryer:

The drain for the washing machine may end up having to be in the middle of the box instead of off to the side but either way it will have at least 4" for the trap arm. If the drain does have to go in the middle, I can bend the cold water line a little to go around it.
For the exterior part of the dryer vent I want to get this: Sorry! Something went wrong!

It stays closed with a magnet when there is no air blowing, but when air blows it opens up. I'm debating whether or not to get the in-wall duct piece for the extra $, but I'm pretty sure I have something somewhere that has a duct on it that I can re-use. I plan to fill in the hole for the old dryer duct with the cutout for the new one and replace the 2 vinyl siding pieces that were cut for that duct.
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/The plumbing box, the AAV, the bend, the sanitary tee, etc were from there. Some of the others I drew. I went with the guide I had on inner and outer diameters of PVC, drew the shapes, and then used push/pull to give them length.It looks like proper plumbing. Where did you find the plumbing pieces in Sketch Up?
Yeah, no worrying about whether the cats or dogs want in or out & do the game holding the door open while they stand over the threshold. Funny story about one of my cats: it took him 2 years to figure out how to use the cat door to go out. It took him another 2 weeks after that to figure out it went both ways. So he'd go out and then he'd holler to be let back in. Eventually he figured out he could push it the opposite way. Although, we had one cat that was a total troll. Would sit by the door in the inside and when another cat tried to come through he'd slap the door and bonk them on the head with it or he'd grab them and scare them. Some would run back outside. Others would run away on the inside. A couple would slap the daylights out of him for it.I like that you have a dog/cat door. Makes life easier for everyone!
...or luan.Those slab panel interior doors were typically faced with masonite, birch or mahogany, the distinction being wood or masonite.
Luan is mahogany and when it was 1st introduced it was often referred to as Philippine mahogany, as tho it were an upgrade from other wood veneers.From the texture I'd say masonite. It doesn't have a wood grain. My bedroom door does have a wood grain so I'm guessing it's lauan.
I keep misspelling it bc spellcheck says it is lauan, but apparently they are two different things but both are wood.Luan is mahogany and when it was 1st introduced it was often referred to as Philippine mahogany, as tho it were an upgrade from other wood veneers.
Only part of that is google.I keep misspelling it bc spellcheck says it is lauan, but apparently they are two different things but both are wood.
There is some that is pale and not mahogany colored at all. Was thinking of trying to remove that doorknob and maybe do some painting today but its raining and my body is still as hell today.
