let me know if you do.

Hahaha, this yet an other example of how to fuck up a house planning. Laundry is something i pay no attention to (i think it is strictly a job for men!) so even if i had seen one on a podium, this was the first time i paid attention.
I know the feeling about being ripped off. I've built bathroom sink holders(?) and so on when I've gotten mad enough about prices. At times it feels like i have some sort of stubbornness contests against myself. Our first home had a huge bathroom and sauna dressing room i spent a year designing, that ended up costing 3500 euros, and i went there just once to take some pics because i was too mad for going over budget by 125 euros. After 8 years, i still have the receipts on file and at times i actually go through the numbers just to see how i let that happen.
Yeah, if i find a house I like I'll be sure to post pics (well, if i can, i always forget to take any). I have huge issues with the modern building requirements set by stupid hippies so i have to find something i can renovate. That unfortunately brings up other issues along so don't hold your breath.
