Default Putting a washing machine in the bathroom (under the sink!)

Ah, you just need a bit more imagination Put 2x1 round the top of
the WM, butyl line it, drilling a hole first in the WM top, and you've
got a nice sink at 80cm that drains into the machine, thus saving on
water

Oh, dont worry about drainage, the newer machines turn the pump on if
they detect too much water in the drum!


On the 'slight bodges' route.

I'd consider finding a large shallow glass bowl, and having at it with a
diamond angle grinder, to cut off a little under half of it, then
siliconeing with the appropriate grade of silicone to a flat plate of glass,
with a hole drilled in it.

Arrange taps coming out of the wall, and find a clear silicone rubber
ball to act as a stopper.


That could look quite good until the silicone got all dirty, if done
well. Mould the round stopper by cutting a hole in a ping pong ball.
Include a few bright coloured metalic 'inclusions.' Oh, and since
you'll need to get that stopper out again, mould 2 antennae onto it

I wonder who would buy a property done like that.
