Susan from Fresno Cohousing/ La Querencia, Fresno Ca responding re sizes D/W: 24" is standard. 18" is cute, but it is currently more expensive to replace. (That may change if a lot of demand occurs for 18"...) My 24" GE d/w is very quiet. It was installed in all homes except the downstairs 2 bd flats; 18" ones were installed in the downstairs 2 bd flats. We were informed this would be to allow the provision of additional clear space by the entry door for "accessibility." I don't use the heating element in my d/w. I run it full 4 times a week or so, and open it to air dry after the cycle is done. Refrigerator: be sure to measure standard universally available American refrigerators. Look on line at Sears - they have dimensions.... 30" is a good width. My space is 29.5" + a schosh. Widths of spaces vary between all unit types here. I believe the 4 bd house has 34" space. Also watch for cabinets installed over the fridge space... they have had to be raised in our community to allow refrig height. washer/dryer: In my 3 bd / 2.5 townhouse the w/d closet is upstairs. I decided just to use the washers and dryers in the common house. That way I avoid a potential flood from an overflowing washing machine ruining both floors and the stairway - not to mention having to clean out the venting duct for the dryer across the ceiling of the adjacent bedroom..somehow.
