ssgardener, now that is a thought. I didn't consider sitting in a chair. I even have the bottom of an old one in the basement that goes down quite low. The back broke, so it is the seat and roller part only… and I use it when I must get into the cemented crawl space. Easier than bending over.
Service dogs can be taught to get things out of washers and dryers, and I wondered how that would work if I get the ones on pedestals. The dog I have now is a little small to do that kind of task, but am planning on a bigger dog next time. My current dog thinks it is great fun to put dirty clothes into the clothes basket, and also to pull the basket to the top of the basement steps. So would be great to be able to have a dog help with getting the laundry out of the washer and dryer too, if need be. Not sure I'd want dog spit on there though… my current dog has a "dry mouth" and doesn't normally get things wet. Whew! But some dogs do….
