Adventures of a Laundry Chute

One of the many perks to this little home of ours is our laundry chute. In the hallway which leads to the two bedrooms and bathroom there are two closets: a coat closet and linen closet/laundry chute.

Due to the new layout of the basement, Jon decided it would be best to move the laundry chute to the coat closet, dumping the clothes right into the soon-to-be laundry room. So the work began! First, he pealed up the carpet from the closet floor and cut a hole. Below the hole there were electric wires so Jon had to move those. Then, he disassembled the old laundry chute and reinstalled it in the new location. Thankfully, the closets are mirror images and everything fit in great. He finished off the other closet by covering the hole and installing the piece of carpet from the coat closet. Looks good as new!

Since this picture, Jon has moved the coat hanging shelf higher and I've painted everything white (the walls were a light greenish color). In the basement Jon has the closet framed, but will soon be putting up the drywall and eventually installing a door. Progress is a wonderful thing!
