The Wash House

In our community we can build 12 x 12 foot structures without a building permit. Here's a little 7 x 7 building that I'd like to construct for use as a place to do laundry. We may expand it to 12 x 12 and use it also as a garden shed.

I'm thinking of raising the structure about 8 feet high, then use the space below for storing firewood. If we insulated well and added a little heater we could run a washing machine off a generator or a battery bank.

Another option is to build a bunkhouse where the old garage was. That's a big project, however and our biggest construction priority is to build a barn. Perhaps we'll have a laundry room in the barn.
