Anyway, the laundry room in our house is one of those that used to be "outside". When the house was originally built, you had to go through the carport to get to the laundry room. However, the carport was long ago (most likely) closed in. So, it is now inside. It didn't much look like it, though. As you can see from the pictures below, it still looked more like something you would find in an outside shop. The only "inside" feature was the floor. It actually has hardwood floors. Of course, they are in terrible shape...but once upon a time, it was probably pretty.
Matt did a lot of the work that has been done. He had some help from Nathan (see below) doing some of the drywall. I did most of the shelves. Matt also did a little electrical work.
So far, there is drywall up on most of the walls (with insulation behind it) and the shelves have been installed. Those really were the most needed parts. We still had all these boxes sitting in the computer room. Now, most of the sitting around stuff is gone. Yay! As you can see, we haven't gotten the new vinyl flooring installed. We're hoping to get that done before too long, but it will at least be after Christmas. Once we get to it, though, it won't take very long.
Here is the view to the right of the door. There is no drywall on the ceilings yet. It is still lots of random pieces of plywood. Eventually, that will also get done along with installing two new light fixtures.
And here is the shot to the left of the door. There is still some work to be done here. Matt is going to install a washer connection box. He needs to do this plumbing work before the drywall behind the washing machine. Unfortunately, the corner will probably stay like it is for a while. The plumbing from the hot water heater runs all in the way of trying to get drywall back there. So...until it dies and has to be replaced, the corner will probably remain undone.

I bet the insulation is a huge help. My gramma's laundry room looks a lot like your's used to look, and Gramma's laundry room gets almost unbearably hot in the summer.
From all the pictures, it looks like y'all are doing a great job with the renovations.
What a big difference! Are you clear bins just extra storage? I think I need to shift to clear bins. Kate has clear ones for her old clothes & its so much easier to see what's inside, imagine that!
Yes, the clear boxes are just storage. I love being able to see what I'm looking for! Nathan has the same type things in his closet for some of his toys.
