Elm Court's Utility Room and Washer and Dryer Hookup

Donald Brazie from D & B Plumbing demonstrates how to hook up a washer and dryer in a utility room that was formerly a bathroom on the Elm Court's second floor. Bob also reviews the high-efficiency Energy Star washer and dryer from Whirlpool. The washer uses one-third the amount of water necessary for a standard wash cycle. It also removes more water than standard washers during the spin cycle. As a result, the dryer runs for a shorter amount of time, using a reduced amount of energy compared to typical models.

" and a so what we've done here is we've taken an area that was one of the original bathroom spaces and you're -- use it as a second floor laundry room are these easy to install not. Very homeowner. Homeowner friendly basically take them out of the out of the carton. And it occurred -- and die optional base on the bottom for don't want pat -- honor -- easy assignment in place right now. There I think it's a good idea to keep the water shut off when the laundries not -- news bath. That is one of the interesting things about these is that they become what is elevated base that provides storage for whatever is used to do the laundry. And elevates the machine so that it's easier to gain access to it now one of the key things -- these energy star appliances these -- from whirlpool. One of the key things is that they use about a third the amount of water that a normal top loading machine we use. Fifteen or sixteen gallons as opposed to 44. And when you look at the capacity of that tank gun toting get up to sixteen and jeans or 22 bath towels in one wash. And the neat thing is that the spin cycle will extract practically all the water so that -- comes time to actually put a -- you're using much less dryer time therefore much less electricity."

Call-In Access

A Honeywell thermostat, in combination with the company's Telephone Access Module (installed in the basement or a utility closet), allows homeowners to dial into a home's HVAC system via telephone and make adjustments remotely.

Installing the Water-Cooled HVAC System

Jeff Akers of The Air Authority explains how heat is recovered from the water that flows to each of the units in the high-rise apartment to fuel the heat pump in this Miami condo. The water is received, the heat is rejected from the water and into the pump, then the water is sent back to the water tower for cooling and redistribution. The unit is housed in a utility closet that will be concealed by a louver door to provide the only air return for the HVAC system. The ductwork in the building must be fiberglass or metal, rather than flex, and is covered with mastic at all seams to prevent leakage as mandated by Florida energy policy. Akers then shows Bob the Energy Star thermostat that operates without wires or mercury, plugging right into the system at the wall. The thermostat features a five-minute delay to prevent short-cycling and resulting damage to the system. It also has a fan-only setting for cooler days. All settings can also be locked to avoid tampering, a feature that is critical for a vacation getaway that is frequently unoccupied.

Brownstone Kitchen and Butler's Pantry

The huge space that is the kitchen of the Manhattan Brownstone has received its finishing details. Basaltina stone covers the counters, island, desk area, and built-in bar. There is a large double-door utility closet that houses the washer and dryer, as well as brooms and cleaning supplies. The custom cabinetry has a classic wainscoting profile and an off-white catalyzed finish. There is floor-to-ceiling storage that will need to be accessed, perhaps with a library ladder to traverse the space. Project manager Chris Vila shows Bob the built-in bar space that is designed to look like a butler's pantry, complete with glass-front cupboards and restoration-glass inserts from Bendheim. The Sub Zero 42-bottle capacity wine fridge is compatible with the home's security system to safeguard precious wine collections and block access.

Creating the Jambs and Hanging a Door

Bob works with the crew from Thorough Construction as they prepare the Woodport door for hanging on site. The door is stabilized by a horse that holds it steady while the work is done. A jig serves as a guide as they router the mortise for each brass ball-bearing hinge. The router creates uniform, flat cuts for the hinges on both the door and the jamb piece. The jambs and header are made from poplar. They are glued and then screwed in place, checked for square, then braced with temporary strapping before being transported to the rough opening. A single screw is set in the header to hold it in place while the installers shim it and check to be sure it is plumb and level. The door jambs and header are then screwed into place. They must trim the door along the bottom edge, which is taped to protect the finish from damage during cutting. Once in place, temporary drywall screws hold the door until the brass screws are inserted as a finish detail when all adjustments have been made.
