Trough's in laundry.

I would hate to not have a trough in my laundry. I use it heaps for cleaning, soaking and washing up after messy work like painting so my bathrooms would be trashed and messy if I didn't have one.
Or are you suggesting a normal sink rather than a big trough?
I guess it depends on your market too - for a family I would keep it, but perhaps not so much for single/couple only?

Depends on the property. 3x of mine have combined bathroom/laundry or kitchen/laundry and renting them hasn't been a problem.
It's very property/area dependant I would say as a minimum though you do need a water source in the same room. So either a bathtub, vanity, basin etc.
At the very least you need a water source you can get a big bucket under. A big deep sink is a great solution for that. A bathtub or even a shower with an ordinary tap in it can suffice.
As for the old laundry trough, it ceased to become a necessity with the advent of the automatic washing machine. Nice to have maybe, but huge opportunity cost in terms of space.

I was meaning it is a necessity for me.
I thought you were a man? What are you doing in a laundry?
If we didnt have the twin troughs in our laundry we'd have run out of water years ago.
Thats where you put the outlet hose off the washing machine, put the plugs in on the last cycle (rinse) and when the machine stops the water gets sucked back into the machine. Just have to get the clothes out quickly before they get wet again after spinning.
That water then is the start of a new wash.
More important to us I guess cause we have no town water. But even then its a saving of water isnt it?
Yep skater, I wash clothes, cook dinner, but will never ever iron anything. Just fold properly?.
Real men wash clothes!
This is gonna go over real well but i have to confess, besides a few loads when i was a backpacker i have never done laundry! My mum did it all and now my wife does!

Hehe, I HATE ironing & avoid buying clothes that need ironing as much as possible. Hubby irons all his work clothes.

Hehe.
Incidentally, I remember my mother ironing underpants, singlets hankies and tea towels. I could never see the point!
SIL irons their sheets?!
Mum used to do that too!
I would not survive without my laundry trough...i use it to handwash and soak the kids clothes that need a bit of a napisan treatment. I often also use it to wash my really big jumbo stock pots which are messy to deal with in my domestic sink.
Again from a sale point of view, i wouldn't think of omitting one as what may not be a necessity for you may probably be for others.
