An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Where did you get the shelf boards and how much were they, if I may ask?
All from Hammerbarn, I think 20 bucks a shelf I cant remember. Rails were 20 each and the shelf arms were a few bucks each.
This is the opposite of Dull. This is one of the most interesting things I've seen today.
First off, building laundry shelves is awesome, I've been dreaming of making improvements to my laundry room for almost 5 years now, and I still haven't done it. So heck yeah man that's awesome.
Secondly, that upside down wall mounted dryer is blowing my mind! Like what the heck! I didn't know you could do that! Does that work? Do you just get used to all the labeling being unreadable? That's insane! I mean, I get it, it puts the door closer to the ground, but I never would've thought that would work. Does it dry better or worse than if it were right side up? Does the lint trap still trap lint as well or do your clothes end up a little more... Fuzzy? Idk how to even tell if one dryer leaves more lint on clothes than others.
I'm so intrigued.
Thanks!
Well to try and answer your questions:
- It does work
- Its not really unreadable so its fine
- I think it dries the same, I'd have to ask my other half
- The lint trap still works well because its vented so the air still passes through it
We've been using it the right way up for years so lint had collected in the botton of the actual unit and when I mounted it upside down that all fell through the unit body. It did cause it to smell like burning fabric for the first 30 mins running it upside down down but I just stood next to it with a fire extinguisher until it "burnt off" the smell you could say.
Now been running perfectly with no burning smell for 10ish loads of laundry!
Hah! That's funny that it had to burn off the old lint. That's pretty dang cool that it can be used that way.
So weird, but not since this is very Australian, seeing a laundry just like ours, even the crown molding. I too haven’t done anything to ours besides some cupboards.
You must live next door
I thought it was an AI joke at first, had no idea this was even possible. Is it not annoying having all the knob labels upside down?
In north America we usually just get a front loading washing machine and then stack the dryer on top of the washer if we don't get the side by side ones.
Front loaders tend to have smaller capacity and harder to keep clean / sanitary so we opted for the top loader
You'd find almost the exact same items here in NZ too, though "Omo" detergent is branded "Persil" here.
Good Job! The struggle is real
