I'm not really a washing type person but one of the best installs I have seen was a washing machine which was installed in the engine room of a narrow boat where they had cut a hole in the ply bulkhead to the bedroom so you could load the washer easily but not suffer the bulk of the machine in the living quarters.
I found this to be good design.
What other things have people seen that made them say "bloody hell thats a good idea!"

Octopus straps to hold our doors open instead of two bricks.

Octopus straps to hold our doors open instead of two bricks. Brass cabin hooks are what the cognoscenti use.

If it its steel doors just use magnets.
With wood doors screw a washer to it then use magnet on the steel of the cabin.
Takes less room than hooks.

I have portholes, when the boat was stretched and the stern refitted, I had sliding doors that were hidden behind the wall, so in normal use you see nowt, gets dark and you slide them over the porthole, nice and dark looks good stops condensation perfik fix

I'm voting for oars and sails they are really good ideas that you see on boats.
