    We have new LG front load machines, mid-high end versions...2 and a half years so far with zero maintenance or issues. Just leave the door open on the washer to keep it from getting moldy.

    I've heard that rumor too about chainlink minimum...is that actually a written rule somewhere? I always thought it was whatever the neighbourhood standard was.

    I just can't see how the addition of a bathroom exhaust fan in a previously completely non-ventilated garage could ever cause a health problem.

    Dehumidifier would probably freeze up in an unheated garage. Remember, they work by making the coil cooler than the surrounding air to condense moisture out of them.
