A laundry sorter

We are a family of six. As a consequence, we dirty a lot of clothing. Well, I really do not recollect how I did laundry before I bought a laundry sorter last year, but when it broke, I quickly tried to figure out how to fix it. When I realized that I could not fix it, I decided I needed to build something. Now, here is how the original purchase transpired. While shopping in Walmart, Mindy says to Noah "I am thinking about buying this laundry sorter for $15. Otherwise I will need to buy more laundry baskets. What do you think?" Noah replies, "I think it will break". Mindy, in denial, "Well, even if it breaks, I can build something better when it happens. But in the meantime I will have some functionality." Noah, "Whatever." So when it broke less than a year after purchase, of course Noah replied "I told you so". Now the nice thing about having the not-so-perfect sorter break, is that we are now the proud owners of the ever-so-perfect sorter. I figured out what dimensions I needed to sort the laundry to my standards, went to the head engineer for design approval (aka Noah), then went around the house collecting enough scrap wood to get started. The wood was cut and sanded before my spring break to the south to retrieve the new family car, but I did not have time to complete the task before departure. My grandmother donated multiple bolts of vintage upholstery fabric to our fabric collection to bring home in the empty minivan, so I immediately (after recovering the house) set to work on sewing the insert to the laundry sorter. Now I know that all of you want one just like it, but I am afraid it would cost you a small fortune. Now the only thing missing is the laundry chute that is supposed to dump out right there....but that will probably have to wait a few years.


That's right...5 bays to sort the clothes! Whites, Mediums, Darks, Denim/Pants, Wool
