Serious questions: Can you take out a dishwasher from a kitchen and
replace with a small (stackable?) clothes washer (and dryer)?


Sure. *It will not be good when you want to sell the house. *There are
rollaround clothes washers (with butcher block tops) you can
temporarily hookup to the kitchen sink.

*Could a

plumber easily do that?




Available width may also be a problem, as dishwashers are narrower
than the washer/dryers I have seen Besides plumbing and electrical
issues, the other obvious problem is a stacking washer/dryer is going
to be a lot taller than a dishwasher, which fits under the
countertop. So, where is the extra height coming from and what will
it do to the look/functionality of the kitchen?
