Usually, this means folding in the rear-view mirror on the car and hoisting the laundry basket over my head! This narrow passage HAS encouraged me to keep any extra weight off, so I guess that is a good thing! I can see no way to move the laundry to the main part of the house. There just is not enough room. Perhaps if the floor plan had a galley-style kitchen, that would free up space somewhere. But, the beautiful kitchen layout is what sold me on this villa plan. I have had some lovely kitchens in my homes in that "other life" but none any more fun and enjoyable to work in as this one. It's amazing to me what we can learn to live with when other things become more important in our lives. Besides, that narrow garage may just keep me from ever needing the services of Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers!! Life is good!
I just love your positive responses! Keep 'em coming; I/we need them to keep our perspective where it should be!
