I got the trim installed, everything pained, the doors on, the drying racks build all of the hardware installed!
We still need to put the banding on the bare end of the plywood, but I didn't want to try to iron that on myself.
The design was built around making it as easy as possible to remove the washer and dryer if necessary, as well as access the connections (water lines, cords, etc.).
The top piece that houses the drawers and drying racks is about 5" shorter than the shelf just above the washer and dryer so that it can easily be pulled out if necessary. It is only screwed down to the plywood shelf below, and the 1x4 trim on the sides is installed with pocket holes from inside the cabinets so they can be pulled off.
Likewise, the baseboard trim is in two pieces so that only the piece of trim that is in front of the washer and dryer would need to be pulled off to get the washer / dryer out of their cubby.
It took alot longer to design and build this way, but in the event that anything ever happens that we need to get in there, it will be worthwhile.
I'm happy with the way it turned out, but the painting is still the worst part!
