I put it on a little shelf so the drain hose could feed into what had been the cistern overflow pipe.
I had to put a bead of silicon grease around the plug used to cap the toilet waste pipe, as for the first day or so there was a subtle funk escaping.
The whole project was super satisfying as it is using a redundant space, does a much better job than the old airing rack, has cleared our landing area.
My wife and I like to remove tolerations, those little niggles we experience on a day to day basis. They are often not essential things but when done they just make life better. This has made a chore less laborious and made a notable improvement.

Because it has been completed!
And it is currently full of bib shorts drying, and no one needs photos of my arse pads.
But I can report it is a resounding success. The foxy rack can take a folded sheet or duvet cover. It has ample space for a couple of loads of laundry but I tend to prefer to do one load at a time so the clothes get hung over two rails and dry faster. It has made the laundry process quicker and easier.
There is adequate for the ironing board, clothes steamer and floor steamer in the clothes drying room. The laundry baskets fit under the drying racks. All that clutter and our clothes airing rack used to reside on our landing so there has been a great decluttering. The boxlegend clothes folder is also in the drying room so it is a quick job to fold all the T-shirts neatly once dry.
It’s one of those little home improvements that has improved our living space, the laundry routine, my t shirts can dry flat, delicate woollen items can be rack dried flat and the whole job was much cheaper than a compressor tumble drier and is cheaper to run too.
