IRONING CENTER
Rob Nelson: What we actually need to find is the 16" on center studs in this particular wall.
AC: Well, this is where they fall. I got my little stud finder out and I got the studs. They're right up against both of these lines and according to the instructions I've measured up here the right height and everything. So, that's where we need to cut out.
RN: Well, you know, I see that you have them marked and I'm guessing or hoping that we've already checked to make sure there is no wires or no plumbing behind the wall here.
AC: Right. Saw through the drywall to make way for the ironing center. Timber. Well, there we are. Remove the insulation behind the drywall and then trim the Sheetrock flush with the 2x4's.
RN: There we go.
AC: Hey, that fits like a glove.
RN: Looks pretty good. Well there's 3/8 of an inch overlap around the entire thing so it'll allow for any uneven cuts that we might have made.
AC: Which we did.
RN: We definitely did.
AC: Well okay Rob, I guess we need to fasten it in place then.
RN: Yes we certainly do. The way we're going to do that is we're going to actually just install two screws on each side right into the 2x4's. Well put one up here and one down here by the brackets.
AC: Okay.
RN: On both sides.
AC: Well, there it is, pretty solid. Let's see what it looks like with the door closed.
RN: Put the retainer clip in place.
AC: Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be nice. I think I'm getting the hang of this. You know, one of the features I really like about this, this board is ventilated and consequently you don't have any steam build up in under there. Another feature, you can store your iron while it's still hot and it'll be perfectly safe up there. And the flexibility is a big thing. Look at that. You can move it around and also you can adjust the height on here. If you're lucky enough to have a board like this in your laundry room you're probably going to get to the point where you just love to get in there and iron.
