Oh, do tell about your laundry system...I'm needing serious advice in that area!!

Well, we'll see how long it lasts but I put a basket in front of the washer, one in front of the dryer. I put a dirty load in the basket in front of the washer while also having a load washing..then a load drying, then a basket of clean clothes to fold in the basket in front of the dryer. This helps me keep piles of clothes off of the floor in other rooms and it doesn't seem as daunting fo a task this way. I try to fold one load a day with this system. So far, so good. Don't know if that makes any sense at all!
