Who air dries laundry
« on: June 15, 2011, 06:55:05 am »
At our old house I had a clothesline. We have a dryer in the new place we're at. I asked my husband to put up a line for me. In the Florida heat my clothes can dry in about an hour.  8) And what a money saver. Hey, I want to keep my fusion cash and not give it to the electric company.  ;D

Sure do.  Just washed a load yesterday and hung it up on the line.  We have a dryer but in the summertime we always put it outside.

One of my childhood memories is of my mom hanging the laundry out in the back yard .....the sheets smelled so fresh.

[I love air dried laundry it reminds me of when I was a child and all the women used to air dry the laundry. You would see laundry hanging in every backyard almost everyday. I would help my mother sometime by taking it down for her. The breeze would be blowing I remember the scent of the clothes and the rustling of the trees it was wonderful. :)  /quote]

I bought a brass line wrapped in vinyl from Lehman's. I'm going to use that for my new line. I would love to have this but it's too much money.

Hardly ever. The weather is hardly ever that nice here and even if it is sunny one minute the next can be a torrential downpour. I used to have a drying rack to use in the house when we had to pay for each laundry trip but it broke and I couldn't fit all my laundry on it.

Growing up we had a clothes line and thought it was great.  Wasn't able to air dry while I was living in an apartment, but am hoping to set up a clothes line now that I have a house with a back yard.  May be a couple years to figure out where to put it...

i would love to air dry my clothes, but living in
an apartment definitely has its downfalls... that
being one of 'em.

i also remember my mom using the clothesline
in our backyard. i'm looking forward to having
my own backyard someday so that i can do the
same! even just for nostalgic reasons  :heart:
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]
