It took several weeks to those of us in Sr. Housing to convince management that we needed a clothesline. The argument was that we'd save electricity (which we certainly do) and many of us really wanted one. WE WON. Amazing how many of us do use them as soon as weather permits. You're right, the linens smell wonderful. Love going to bed with bedding that has been on the line. Remember, those here really remember the clothesline. Marge L.
