It was very satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>We moved the dryer and re-ran the duct-work, first time we actually used &#8216;duct&#8217; tape for ducting! We built a washer\/dryer stand so the front load washer sits higher off the ground and is next to the dryer for easy transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The laundry room is a huge improvement to clothes (clean &amp; dirty) covered in sawdust and the bunnies are enjoying their new home on the other sides of the stairs in the &#8216;storage&#8217; room. Eventually that room may even be a basement lair of sorts (gaming, homework, etc.) but for now it&#8217;s storage, storage, bunnies, and more storage.<\/p>\n<p>Scott added a bandsaw to his set of shop tools, he still needs a jointer (and probably a newer table saw) before he can truly focus on building the door. He did build a &#8216;scrap cart&#8217; to get the old oak flooring out of the way. I must say moving everything around in the shop sure makes it hard to find all the things you used to know where they were&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_487\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6293.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-487\" class=\" wp-image-487  \" alt=\"here's the shop side of the new wall, Scott just acquired a new Rikon band saw.\" src=\"http:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6293.jpg\" width=\"256\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6293.jpg 427w, https:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6293-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6293-280x419.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">here&#8217;s the shop side of the new wall, Scott just acquired a new Rikon band saw.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_488\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mardises.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_6294.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-488\" class=\" wp-image-488 \" alt=\"this is the longest view of the shop half of the basement.
