It Would Be Thirteen Years

Here's some more house stuff that you might eventually learn, but-- unfortunately-- by the time you learn it, you won't get too many future chances to put your knowledge to good use . . . but perhaps some lucky homeowner will stumble upon this post before it's too late: if your contractor installs the stacked washer/dryer laundry center and then builds the bathroom cabinets, then thirteen years later, when the stacked washer/dryer laundry center breaks and you need to have it removed so a new one can be installed, there's no guarantee that the stacked washer/dryer laundry center will fit between the sink and the cabinets and then you'll have to rip out the cabinets, reschedule the installation, and make another visit to the laundromat.

I’m kinda familiar with this. Luckily Frigidaire makes one particularly narrow stackable washer and dryer.

we got the same size as the one we had . . . seemed like the logical choice until the installation guys measured the space. cabinets protruded three inches too far. they are now headed for the dumpster.
