So two very nice men arrived this morning as scheduled to stack the washer and dryer.

And it was no trouble at all!

All was finished within a half hour. And since had done such a great job of preparing the room — removing everything else from the room, laying out all the required parts, even giving the guys a hand at taking off the pedestals — there will be no extra charges. Whee!

By lunchtime, Sir Monkeypants had installed our new bench and hat rack. Now our laundry/mud room is a model of organization. There are bins for hats and hooks for jackets. There are shelves for backpacks and nooks for shoes and boots. There are shelves for cleaning supplies and even a little space at the end of the bench to keep the baby car seat. I swear to God, the room looks like it’s straight out of an article in Canadian Living about Making The Most Of A Small Space. Or maybe straight out of the IKEA catalogue. Whee!

I took a bunch of photos but it’s such a small room that I can’t get enough distance from any given wall to actually take a coherent picture of any one thing. But I’ll see if I can paste it all together to make something worth viewing.

In the meantime…I believe it is time for our inaugural load of stacked washing.
