Do You Think That Hanging Laundry Outside Looks Bad?

[greathorse]

But on the subject..
I like to see nice square sheets on a line. Im not a big fan of seeing all different size clothes down a collapsing clothes line. If they were arranged in size and categorized on a tight line I might not mind (but whos got the time for that?).

Just keep it in your back yard IMO. But for me... clothes dried outside dont smell very good. But I dont know if Im do it right

Just a little type A are we? LOL. That is funny I can't get a pair of sox put together and in a drawer. My level of organization would give you a heart attack. BAchelor, and not a very good one at that

Are you sure it's the clothes that don't smell right? Maybe you are just getting a whiff of Greeley?

No.Why would I think that?

Oh good grief. Our neighbors bought an "estate" (historic home on a bunch of acreage) just so that they could do things like hang their clothes on the line and live the "country" life. It's the "green" thing to do. So, apparently, doing this is either trailer trash or upscale.

When my kids were babies, I secretly loved the quiet time with fresh, sweet-smelling cotton diapers, cool and damp in the hot sun.

I didn't have a dryer when I first bought my little house after my divorce. I hung everything on the line. I couldn't even afford clothes pins. I just did the Girl Scout Twist (line is doubled and twisted until it's tight enough to tuck a corner of the clothes between the ropes.) It made it easy to hang a zillion socks. I did organize my clothes lines. All sheets were together, all socks hung in pairs. It was easy to fold them after they dried. (I had a discreet line for hanging my undies. However, I think we should all just buy wild-colored undies and hang them so the neighbors can see.

Give 'em something to talk about!)

Once I could afford a dryer, I got one of the front loaders, and it was so cheap to run, I got lazy on line drying. Plus, I always seem to need rope, and then I steal my clothes line.

Everyone should have to hang clothes out at some point in their lives. It makes us more human.

I don't own a dryer.

We either line dry outside
Dry inside on hangers/racks
Borrow MIL's or occasionally visit the laundromat down the street. --- It's been an UNUSUALLY rainy season so I think we've actually used a dryer more this summer than in the past 5 years.

We lived in an apartment and dried EVERYTHING inside during the summertime. It's totally doable. In the winter we didn't mind running the dryer since it warmed up the house, but during the summer I could not stomach paying to run the dryer and then paying AGAIN for the a/c to cool the house back down. We put up a retractable clothesline in the bedroom and 99% of the time they were ready to put up before we were ready to go to bed.
