November 30, 20205 yr I think we need this thread. At present in mine (1.8m x 2.6m): 2 doors either side (which some fool made offset so it is a zig zag walk) Single sink Washer Boiler Storage for lots of household and garden bottles and chemicals Long term food storage Cleaning things ... brushes, hoover etc. Extras for the future (2m x 5m ish): Tumble dryer. Space in kitchen required for second dishwasher. Pulley .. maybe. 2nd freezer. Power tool storage .. maybe. More worksurface for "not kitchen" jobs - things like operations with opening cans of paint, dealing with produce etc. Maybe wine fridge. Provision for lift, which I don't currently have. Real broom cupboard. And you? F
November 30, 20205 yr Washing machine Tumble dryer Sink and sink units for all cleaning products Wall cupboards for more stuff (no wall cupboards in kitchen) Space for ironing board to be left up permanently Pulley (cloths dryer) in it's own alcove so it is not in the way whether up or down.

November 30, 20205 yr 1.9m x 4m - two doors (to kitchen and to garage) - a washing machine - a butler sink and under-sink unit (with a drinking water tap) - a drinking water staged filter - a water softener - a boiler - a HWC - 2x tumbe dryers (stacked) - UFH manifold - 6x wall storage units - an extra base unit (leftover from kitchen as bought an extra one in case the main one did not fit) - a plastic movable 4-drawer storage unit. - The cat's sleeping place The utility is the warmest room in the house (+29), so is the officially designated "cat's spa".
November 30, 20205 yr Our is 3000 x 2400 With the boiler and tank and washer behind the sliding door Another 1000 ish on the length would have been better Next one ?
