I plan on hanging laundry out on Saturday if it clears up and doesnt rain.
When I lived in Omaha the subdivision I lived in called HillsBorough had in one of the bylaws that no clotheslines allowed out in the open. Which to me is kinda numb since it has to be in the open. Here I dont have the problem of those laws since people still hang stuff out to dry. I will take a few pics of the wash since I have 4 loads to do.
They are available here but a considerably larger investment than those from Lowes, Ace, etc. I had a couple of umbrella-style dryers before installing a permanent "T"- post set of lines a couple of years ago. I use them every week, everything gets dried outside except work-rags and bath towels and I'd do the towels if I had more time.
This is a great site - have a look around at the attempts to overturn clothesline bans around the country. If this country were to develop a comprehensive energy policy, these bans could be eliminated in one stroke of the pen. Restrictions on types, times of use, etc. are perfectly understandable to keep the riff-raff from using it to string up deer for several days but there is no reason to prohibit people from drying laundry in a manner that uses no fuel or produced energy whatsoever.
Ah learn something new everyday. Before I bought that clothesline i searched online and Amazon had a few...but the funny thing Lowes didnt carry any. Nothing Nada. Then I went to Homo Depot and they had the one I bought. i should check and see if that Hills Hoist is available in my area. I want to see one before I get one. Years ago I could find just about any kind of outdoor dryer...now the selection is rather limited. Oh I did come across a few bags of clothespins that were made here in the USA at a 5 and dime in Kennebunk Maine...his place is a dump but a treasure trove just the same.
Nice job on the clothesline Greg..you hang like I do...oh the comments I am waitin for em!
but my partner took of picture of me posing at our clothesline and though I would share as well. I'm hearing that hanging clothes out on line is making a comeback. However,my partner hates when I hang linens out on the line because he afraid of a bug lol. As you can see, I do love my whites
last one...I was taking the whites down and had redistribute the stuff on the lines. One thing about drying outside is that it smells good...the bad side...the ironing that I have to do now...
Saw a nice stainless steel "indoor-outdoor" clothes drying rack at the local Costco today. Resisted the urge to buy one... although I think it could be useful. It claims 31 sq ft of drying space. It really does open up to quite an area, but stores in about 3" thick of space.
Anyway, I hang up most things to dry. But I think this rack could be helpful for apartment dwellers or people who wash and wear a lot of sweaters/woolens/etc that shouldn't be hung up.
