    Good job deems,glad you did it the right way.You will be happy you did in the long run.Just one question though....why are your studs at 700 between them?WAs this place built by a registered builder?I suspect not,and I also suspect that the frame wasn't inspected either.

    The house itself appears to have been built in the late 50's all hard wood frame. The laundry was gutted a year ago, old window removed and new frame inserted for the new aluminium window. I suspct that when framing up for the new window the orginal stud was cut out to accomadate the smaller frame.

    To be honest I cant exactly remember why it ended up this way especialy considering that the dryer was going to be fixed along side the window.

    The rest of the house studs are spaced out at 550 or 600mm.

    We have renovated this house from front door to back and the laundry is the last room to the project. Myself (former landscaper) and father ( cabinet maker) have done all the work and in hindsight we left our best
    <expletive> ups for last.

    I have had to mount our dryer in a pos that meant that I could only pick up one stud. To provide the additional support I used a piece of flat steel bar as a batton. It is probably only 5mm thick so not too obtrusive.
