Hi,

I am planning to put my washing machine in the toilet and thinking not to build concrete base for Washing Machine, instead customised a stainless platform for Washing Machine.

2 reasons of this idea..

1) SS plaform, I can customised it higher above ground to prevent water splashing

2) SS plaform is flexible, happy I put WM in toilet, not happy I put in Kitchen area

BUT is it practical?

1. Washing machine needs no platform at all, can just "sit' on the floor.

2. Need to consider following for washing machine's location:

- Power outlet

- Drain hole

- Water supply

3. Washing machine is best placed at a location which has above 3 items "next" to WM.

The thing is I'm placing it inside the bathroom, therefore I guess need a base for the WM. ID suggest to build a concrete base.

Above 3 are not an issue to me. =)

toyogo sells those plastic cubes that you can put your fridge or washing machine on it. it comes in a pack of 4. this is a cheap solution, though i'm not sure if it is suitable for all washing machines since some vibrates more than others.

Previous owner actually have a concrete base and on top of that, they used those plastic cubes and abit unstable.

from your t-blog, seems like it will be beside your basin.

splattering of water around basin - not sure if its ok for a washer? Especially electrical stuff, thought its better to steer clear of water?
