Laundry and pantry area


A washing machine and dryer are located just behind the louvered doors. One split air conditioner is located above the washer and dryer, and although only 8,000 BTU's, provides continual cool air. It is run only during the day time and sufficiently cools the house. A second split unit in the bedroom runs only at night. In spite of the high temperatures on Guam, we always sleep in very cool comfort and have quite low power bills.

Next to the washer and dryer, also hidden by the louvered doors, is the pantry shelves. This makes dry goods readily availabe, as well as keeps the trash can hidden, and provides space for miscellaneous items such as a step ladder, broom and dustpan, and other awkward sized household needs.

I was so happy to find your website. I've been thinking of building a home too but on Saipan using a container. How much did it cost (container, building material, construction workers)?
