Thanks Critter, It isn't finished yet. I'll try to describe what I have without being too confusing. My laundry room is divided almost in half one half is a bump-out that Ric built years ago. Inside dimensions are 73 inches X 44 inches. The opening is 56 1/2" and can't be enlarged due to the placement of an electrical box. Ric actually did a lot of work to expand the opening as far as he could. But he could only move the electrical panel so far. The W&D sit in the bump-out and take up almost all of that space. They are 55 inches combined length that leaves an extra 18 inches that unfortunately isn't very user friendly. The old set up had the W&D pushed against each wall with the extra space between. Can't do that with the front opening doors. They have to be in front of the opening. I can put some hooks in there and use the little extra space to hang mops and things I can reach around but can't squeeze myself into that space.
Here this might give you an idea of that space. I did put a small laundry basket back there. From this angle you would be looking towards the mud/utility room and you can see a small section of the floor and back door.
