House pt 2 - laundry and dressing room



we changed the smallest bathroom in the world to a washroom - which was a long project because it was so small so only one person could work at a time - the room was retiled and rejigged in such a way that when we leave, the sink and loo just need to be plumbed in again - unfortunately they are being "stored" next to the house along with an old water heater, water pump etc which gives that side of the house a very Steptoe and son vibe!


So there is just room for the washer and dryer to be stacked, and an IKEA omar unit with washing powder etc. Klein maar fijn (small but good)

The third bedroom is our dressing room, lined with wardrobes and where Habibou irons and the washing finishes drying - we part tumble dry, and let it finish inside - only inside drying is makes the room humid, only tumble drying scares me after a shrunken jumper back in the 80s, and we don't dry outside despite the high temperatures and 360 day per year sunny-ness - its also incredibly dusty here - its possible to write your name in the dust on the terrace after just one day!

ps sorry for the sideways pics, haven't figured out how to turn them with new software!
