OK, I need some ideas from the good folks in alt.home.repair.
I am planning a laundry room. SWMBO wants the whirlpool duet washer/dryer (Front load). I am planning a counter over the top of w/d and a sink base to one side with a drop-in sink. No problem, easy project (or so it would seem at first glance).
Here is the rub. The duet w/d is 38" floor to top. A standard base cabinet is 34 1/2" tall.
I thought this was going to be a simple one afternoon project!
I want to not spend a lot of $$$ of course.
My options as I see it:
1) Order a custom sink base - $$$$2) Use a standard size sink base and build a platform for it - $
3) Build a custom cabinet in place - $$, lots of aggravation and time4) No base cabinet just a post for corner of countertop - $ but will look like heck
5) No continuous counter over w/d, just a standard sink base and counter for sink.Did I mis any options? What option would you do?
Once I figure this out I am then faced with the depth, the w/d is 31
1/2" deep, standard countertop is 24" deep. Seems like custom laminate top and filler to wall if I do option 2. Any option except #5 will require this custom top.TIA
