The best thing about the laundry room for us was that there are three washers. We have two kids and we would take our two or three loads down at a time and get them all done at once. Much faster. Plus, I love having the extra closet space in my unit. Another benefit to the common laundry: we have a practice of moving someone's laundry from the washer to the dryer following instructions posted on the washer. This is great for families because if we forget about the laundry in the washer (while we're schlepping one kid from an event while picking up another) we know that someone else would have put the laundry in the dryer for us. And.......sometimes, when the stars are perfectly aligned, the 'folding fairy' comes along so that when I pick up my laundry, it's all folded and ready. Makes me feel loved.

We are just beginning to consider things like whether or not we want laundry facilities in our homes as well as the Common House. I do not have children, but while growing up my family had to walk through the Laundry Room to get the Garage, and it seemed like every time we left or entered the house we switched loads of laundry from the washer to the dryer and/or emptied the dryer. Laundry for a family of five was a never ending task. I would like to hear from families raising children what it is like living w/o a washer and dryer in your house, or put another way what is it like having to do laundry for a family in the Common House?
