laundry room connected to master closet


We actually took this out of our plans to get more usable space in the laundry room and master closet. Ensures the wife gets a little more exercise too.

- Buy extra 3/4" OSB sheets and have them put it in the attic while they are framing so you have it there to floor later.

- Use radiant barrier sheets for your roof decking.

- Use tinted windows if you have a lot of windows facing south and west.

- Water shut off valve on exterior of house where it is coming into house. Lot easier to turn off the water in an emergency than trying to find the valve in a flooded box.

- Have the plumber run a drain line from your A/C pan in the attic to a soffit or other drain in the house.

something I did when our was being framed if your framer doesn't. add 2x8 or so blocking where your all of your towel racks, toilet roll hangers, etc. will be. I even out blocking up where I knew I'd have some high corner speakers in the bonus room

actual plywood for roof deck. 1/2" min.
