Cohousing-L Mailing List: Laundry

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Hi,

We are 18 households. 
Perhaps half at this point--all the recent comers, in fact-- have their own w/d.
So our two washers and dryers suffice.   
BTw,  our laundry is in the CommonHouse, and we have a lamp-- ours is a wall 
lamp-- that can be put on for the folks coming and going doing laundry.  Used 
to leave on ceiling light, and a well-meaner would see the light left one and 
of course extinguish it.  The lamp-- w only one bulb-- avoids this.

dear Jerry,
     Three washers are better, working folks tend to all want to do their 
laundry on the weekend and when we have had a machine break down so we were 
down to two it was problematic. Also more kids means more laundry so if you 
have a higher proportion of families with kids you will probably be a lot 
happier with three than two.
          That would be my take on it.
