Finally finished - My woman cave!

[sunsetpizza]

Please don't make me turn in my man card. I'm plotting my way to a new HDTV. :)

I finally finished our laundry room project I started a year ago. I bought the wifey a new washer 2 years ago and a matching dryer last year. We stacked the unit to make room for a second refrigerator (for beer and meat :))
My wife was gone for the weekend and my neighbor finally parted with the fridge he kept talking about getting rid of on saturday. So I spent a few hours patching walls, painting and finishing things up. It was a nice surprise for her.

We started with this mess (dec 20 '07)- the crappy wire shelves the previous owner installed wouldn't allow the door to fully open

I had some help tearing out the shelves above the washer/dryer. I had to make room to stack the new dryer due to arrive in a couple days for Christmas.

I hung some new cabinets and then the project stalled out. :( And sat that way for a year.... We had a new neighbor invite us to a housewarming party and he said he was going to toss out his garage fridge to make room for a workbench. I said I was in the market for a 2nd fridge. Well 6 months later he finally said he was ready to get rid of it. I paid him $150 - it's only a few years old. I painted, put in a new light fixture to match the hallway and moved my reverse osmosis filter around.

The end result is great. The fridge works great, ice maker and all.

And the coup de grace: The neighbor doesn't like this so he gave it to me to get rid of it. All 14 bottles! :)

Wish me luck on my quest to a new TV!

not only a TV...but a weekly mouth service would be in my negotiations if I were you!

nice work!

[tele_pathic]

Revoke the man card for building something? Never, I say. Sure, you may have been building something that the wifey will use, as I'm sure you never have to do laundry, right? ;) Yeah, me either...Building stuff with power tools is cool, doesn't matter what you build.

That actually looks really great. The original would have me gasping for air and throwing shit out. The new looks great. I didn't know you could stack those newer washers and dryers, though. Good job.

Nice work.

You shouldn't have to turn in your Man Card for this... you should be given a special "lifetime achievement" endorsement!

Nicely done! Very clean and professional. Is the ceiling white? I like that look matching the trim.

You need a job - I got some work for you (but I don't pay well).

[bigslickwood]

Any problem stacking that washer and dryer? We have the same ones. Any worries about one shaking the other off, etc?

[JCinPA]

STELLA!




mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Where's the lunch meat for her to make u a sammich while folding laundry?:confused:

Seriously, nice utilization of the room. (Don't let my wife see this).

The "helpers" are adorable

[MsprinM]

man card revokation? nope. It was a home improvement project.

But I fucking dare you to call it the woman cave to her face. Make sure you record it and put it on youtube so we can watch you getting kicked in the balls.

[WaIIbanger]

nicely done....gotta love a "woman cave" with a beer fridge. :D

[Wedge Rock]

Agreed.

I'm not even sure this qualifies as a "Woman Cave"... I don't see a broom or a frying pan anywhere in those pics... there's not even a sink for doing dishes...

[j p frog]

and where does she hang the sexy nighties??

no problems at all - the are made to stack. Go to Sears, Best Buy, Home depot, wherever you got them and get a stacking kit. Maybe $20. Comes with 2 clips and screws to attach the units in the back. And some rubber tape for the legs to sit on ( which my son pulled out :()

Thanks for all the replies! I am going to show her this post later tonight - see what she says :).
I thought you'd give me shit for building a woman cave before I built myself a man cave :D.

Got to go clean the new fridge out well now and transfer beer and meat to it!
