This depends on where it is located, if there is a wall around it, etc. Also, put shut off valves for your washer above your washer so that you can quickly shut it off if you need to in an emergency.

If you have a large window, you might consider having safety glass put in it. When I put my 5' octagon window in my kitchen, I had safety glass installed so that no one gets hurt if a baseball comes through it or an accident occurs. Now, someone might get a good ole fashioned paddling if they were careless and broke it, but still no one gets hurt.

Thanks for all the info. We're building a 1 story ranch, with a full, poured wall basement.

They use one of those laundry hookup/drain deals above the washer, so shut offs are handy, but a great thing to point out. Thanks!

Good point on the safety glass. We are putting in a 5x6 "feature window". I assume it's safety glass being that large, but something I'll check on. With 2 boys, I anticipate something getting broken along the way lol.
