Some suggestions for enhancing the washing (laundry area), walkway and gate lock to the house :-
1. Suggest having a laundry machine specially for guests (instead of sharing) and locate it at an appropriate place rather than in own store.
2. Position walkway concrete slaps away from the overgrown flower shrubs so that one does not brush their branches when walking on the walkway.
3. Make good the gate lock latch so that it is easier to open and close it.
