One suggestion I highly recommend would be to replace the rubber hot and cold washer supply hoses with stainless steel braided hoses. I'm a master plumber and have been in the plumbing industry for over 50 years which I have seen many of the rubber hot and cold washer hoses burst causing major water damage.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Great suggestion! Thanks!

@kathmann7402 3 месяца назад

We had the same suggestion from our plumber and we did it. 🙂

@DisMindy5767 3 месяца назад

At our first home in Texas, we had the washer and dryer in the garage. We had that rubber hose burst while doing laundry. A neighbor knocked on our door telling us we had water pouring out of our garage! After that mess, we've always replaced with the metal braided hose. Luckily we really didn't have damage in the garage.

@cynthiaamitrano8915 3 месяца назад

Good choice. I think I would have gone with side by side washer dryer and put cabinets or shelves above the appliances - depending upon cost. I’m vertically challenged myself so I’d need a step stool of sorts.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thanks!! FYI… Tiffany is a little vertically challenged too but she can reach everything except the top shelf of the storage shelves.

I have a courtyard villa with a full laundry room in my split bedroom hallway and not off the kitchen to the garage.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

That is awesome! What floor plan? We will try and find one to show in a future open house video. Thanks!

@brimoren7320 3 месяца назад

Hi Michael, love your videos. How wide is the new rolling shelf. Is it small enough to turn sideways and roll against wall with your Viva towels? Then maybe there’s room for a second rolling shelf sideways for even more storage.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Good idea. The one we got is too long to turn the other direction but they do make smaller (and larger) sizes.

@elaineskurski6555 3 месяца назад

@ChynnaBlue1 3 месяца назад

I've never in my life had a laundry room. Even growing up in a 4 bedroom home, there was no laundry room, just a hallway laundry closet. I didn't know CostCo had free delivery. That's awesome. Can Tiffany get everything out of the dryer without a stool? That dryer looks like it's a good height for shorter people like Tiffany and me. I've used stacked W/D sets where I could read everything and some where I couldn't see or reach everything without a small stool. Great setup with the rolling shelf unit!

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much! Costco has the best customer service, delivery and return policy. Good question about the washer and dryer. Yes, Tiffany can reach everything in the washer and dryer pretty easily. 👍

@Rose_K. 3 месяца назад

@putoluto5256 3 месяца назад

Great storage ideas. I would try to put lighter bulk stuff (like Costco T.P. or paper towels) on top of the stackable as long as there isn't a vent or exhaust up there. Also, a wall of those rolling racks along a wall in the garage would give you a metric ton of space! I'm sure someone sells heavy clear vinyl covers with a zipper like they use for rolling clothing racks to help keep the dust off. That space between the stackable and the rolling cart is a perfect place for a folding two or three step ladder (also from Costco) to reach things in the kitchen cabinets.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much! Appreciate your tips and suggestions! We actually bought one of those 3 step ladders from Costo. 👍

@Susie-Joy 3 месяца назад

Commenting for algorithm boost and to send y'all some positive vibes, because you two are AWESOME! The storage is the one reason we are hesitant to go with the 'Charlotte' floorplan, this is helpful. Question, do you notice you immediate neighbors/hood to be permeant residents or rentals? Is there a community vibe? Thanks ♥

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

You Rock!! Thanks so much! Appreciate the positive vibes! I would say the majority of our neighborhood is permanent residents. We have a lot of folks in our neighborhood that are not retired yet and this is their second home. They travel back and forth between locations for work. Some come down every weekend (or every other weekend) and some come down and stay a week or two every month. Have an awesome weekend!

@arnovan2010 3 месяца назад

Question I have why get a stackable when you have the room for a side by side. A lot more benefits having a side by side over a stackable. Good move buying from Costco I did the same thing they are awesome. Also bought a replacement fridge from Costco to replace the builder supplied GE and use the one I took out in the garage

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Costco is Awesome! Luckily we (and a couple of other neighbors) got upgraded GE French Door fridges at the time of build (because they were out of stock on the standard side by side fridge). We did buy a garage freezer from Costco. Will share in a future video. We went with the spacesaver washer and dryer combo so we could gain the extra floor space and storage for our laundry closet. Thanks!

I love your videos, you are real people giving great tips. I have written down so many things so I remember when we finally move! But I do disagree with you washer choice. No way am I getting my king quilt in that. Why didn’t you go with a full size stackable front loader? I’m just curious.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much! We thought about getting a stackable at first but the one we liked was out of stock. Plus we were worried about the size and the doors on the front loader washer (would it fit in the closet space and would the doors have enough room to open). So we decided to try out this GE Spacesaver knowing that Costco has an awesome 90 return policy on major appliances (they will deliver and pick up returns for free if you order online). Our thought at the time was let’s try it out and if we don’t like it we will send it back and then get the full size stackable. We love it! Works very well for our needs and our small space. Thanks!

@jay7621 3 месяца назад

What a great idea for the movable wire shelves. Easy to clean behind it and provides lots of storage. Do you feel your house is big enough or will you eventually move? I ask because we’re used to our ranch with basement.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

Thanks! It definitely makes that space more versatile and usable. A smaller house with less storage (and no basement) definitely takes some getting used to.

@elisabethvanderham9900 3 месяца назад

Good idea for extra storage. Yeah. The lack of storage would be concerning/ a problem. I have A LOT of stuff. LOL. I guess I will see for myself in a few days. I am also planning on checking out Middleton, I like the idea of more space.

There are several models that have entire laundry rooms, not just a pass-thru. Look at the Ottowa, for example.

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

@DisMindy5767 3 месяца назад

In the Villages, since we have an older courtyard villa, our laundry is in the garage. I don't mind it, because I have plenty of room to spread out. But in our home in Virginia, we have a full sized dedicated laundry room on the bedroom level. Its got a big full sized window. We installed four 44" tall kitchen cabinets over the washer, dryer and sink. We also have elfa shelving with a clothes hanging bar. We have fun to store a wheeled cart as well as the carpet cleaner and the iron and ironing board. My inlaw's home in Texas had such a big laundry room that it had a bathroom IN it! 😮

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

@garrettriley 3 месяца назад

Way to maximize that space! Two Questions: 1. Can we get an update on what the two garages look like in your emerald with the Tesla in one and the golf car in the other? 2. Are you still thinking of getting a courtyard villa or something at the one year mark? All your videos are fantastic, thanks for the great content!

@MichaelTiffanyTVE 3 месяца назад

The Amazon cable camera that attaches to your phone was cheap, fyi.
