30. One of the reasons we bought this house was because of my husband's bad knee...

our house is all on one floor except 2 steps coming into the house.

My washer and dryer are full size, but are stacked, with the front loader on the bottom and the dryer on top. That's the only way they will fit. The hot water heater is behind them, and the furnace is next to them. I close off the space with brown bamboo "curtains" that match the roman shades on the door and windows. It looks nice. It used to just be open and looked awful.

I wish you well with your knee, my husband is having a replacement at the end of the month. He said he would have it replaced when the inside of the house was done. That was 22 years ago.
