The DU Lounge

(8,646 posts)I have 4 kids and thus a lot of laundry. The house we are renting has the laundry in the basement, which means I'm hauling the clothes up and down 2 flights of stairs. We have to do 3 loads a day just to keep up (landlord put in the smallest cheapest washing machine on earth, so what used to be 1 load with my old front loader is 2-3 loads with this washer) and god forbid I miss a day. Then I spend the whole next day trying to catch up. On the bright side it's a workout, but I often avoid doing the laundry because it's daunting and I hate basements.
I just bought a house (duplex). I had a choice between a house that would be ready in 5 months but had main floor laundry (in an inconvenient spot), or a house that would be ready in 10 months and have upstairs laundry. Yes, the extra 5 months is worth top floor laundry....LOL. I can't wait.
