Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Laundry in common house

[Bitner/Stevenson (lilbert]

Don't put them in the basement!!!!! Aren't I bossy today? I'll try to 
reform.

Do you really want to go up and down stairs every time you want to do
laundry? What about mobility and accessability? I strongly urge you to put
the laundry where everyone can use it easily-on a floor that walks out to
ground level. While you're at it, make sure your commonhouse is accessible
too. You'll be glad you did when someone comes visiting or to live and they
can get everywhere with their wheelchair. You won't get sued that way,
either.

 We're putting
a laundry room in the basement, near the areas that will eventually be for
crafts and exercise.  Some folks won't have laundry machines at home and
will
obviously be using them.
