Default Base cabinet for front-load washer?

"HeyBub" wrote in message
Sounds like a plan. I have two suggestions:

1. Overbuild. A washer full of water is VERY heavy. Use screws, glue, and
metal bracing.

2. Plan on a pull-out drawer in the base to store stuff.


Oh too funny... I had not even thought about the weight of water!! Lets
see, a 4 cf washer can hold .11 cubic meter of water which comes in at
another 220Lb... and if the dryer is full of wet heavy clothes. Yep, that's
heavy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers, Shawn

PS: I will also look up "Marine Fiddles"... thanks.
