Bought a new home and the laundry room is in the unfinished part of the basement. That’s the set up we have now…. And…. I…. HATE…. It!!

I’ve been looking at ventless combo machines (specifically the GE Profile 4.6 cu ft one) and have a crazy idea to put it in my master closet! It runs on 120v and the shared wall backs up to our master bath.

Husband wants to hire a structural engineer to make sure the 3rd floor can handle it. I’m going to rip out the carpet, do waterproof rigid core LVP, anti vibration mat with a drain pan. I’m going to have to hire a plumber for the drain and water hook ups and an electrician for an outlet.

Am I crazy? We’re not doing laundry at 11pm so I don’t care if it’s a little loud during the day. Having washer/ dryer access upstairs where the clothes are will be a HUGE help for me! There’s also no real place to put the machine aside from our closet! It’s medium/ large and the room is big enough it can handle a dresser or two from any space we will be losing. I don’t even care about ROI, when we sell I’ll change it all back if they want!

Is a structural engineer warranted? Is there anything else I’m not thinking of? (Also, I know the reviews of the machine and am fully willing to deal with long load times and cleaning out lint traps after each use! That’s how badly I don’t wanna go back to the basement set up!!)

My child was suspended and I’m taking it SO hard! There were no steps to correct the behavior before deciding suspension. It was automatic.

I’m worried about this following my child on his record and the fact they didn’t take adhd into account at all. My child is currently in disregulation from huge life stressors and showcasing impulse control issues and already has a problem with filtering their speech and placing up on social cues.

My child didn’t need a behavior plan in the 504 plan until now and we just had a meeting and all teachers said behavior was fine. Now they’re suspended!

Trying to gauge if I should fight this or just roll with it and make sure steps are in place to protect my child in the future.

Mind you they don’t fully understand why what they said was so bad to warrant a suspension but they are extremely remorseful for other kids being upset by it.
