    Whilst a new washer and dryer will not have been cheap, compared to using a launderette (Expensive), they will pay for themselves in no time. Plus you gain so much extra time (no trips to the Launderette) to develop your dream. Love seeing every little bit coming together, a new laundry room, a greenhouse, a garden, little projects that make a BIG difference, and soon a small house. Wishing you every success in your future endeavors. Love from Yorkshire.

    Dirt (,muck) and mud is the reason farmers wear coveralls, and people before washing machines wore aprons and sleevecovers. Using a catch the dirt layer as your outer layer of clothes will save wear on your clothes and a lot of washing.

    The little laundry shed was a great idea to save money in the long run. AND you can wash Maggie’s blankets too. Saw the sign at the launderette about dog blankets. :( I understand where they are coming from, but still annoying.
    Now, you might kick yourselves later that you didn’t build a covered porch for your shed. Then you can do laundry in all weather! Of course, you can always add that later to the front and enclose it too when you have the funds.

    • @CampOutWest
      @CampOutWest  20 дней назад

      We sometimes used to use a outdoor laundry station by our candle studio and we used it once after someone had washed their dog blankets and our clothes sadly got COVERED 😅 maybe they should have dedicated dog/animal blanket washing machines instead 😍

    Putting the old slab to use for the washing machine was a great idea and that was a lovely laundry cabin you made well done. Great that you can do it off grid so kind of Anker to send you their product as they are very expensive to buy. You are both looking so much happier and your green house is lovely and so glad you could purchase stuff from the people retiring at the garden nursery to use. We've had nothing but rain all week too. A lovely video and have a lovely week.

    You can build a drying canopy using the same panels that are on the greenhouse. Can be a little taller than the washing machine house you just built. Leave a 1m gap around the sides at the bottom for air to go through.
    On the most overcast, wettest days in December, a pair of jeans will be dry in 2 days. Sunny day and they are dry in 1.5 hours or less.
    Use your tumble dryer for 10mins then to get the last bit of dampness out of them in winter if you need to.
    I use this system in the Irish Midlands, with very similar weather to you.
    It will free up the Anker for other things during construction.
