I remember my Mom hanging the clothes out the window in Brooklyn. I now live on Long Island & have been married for 43 years & have always hung out my clothes! A few years ago my son in law built me one with 4x4s- it has 24 lines nicely spaced. I hang clothes out year round - everything except jeans, towels & the white wash ( underwear) as DH objects to some things being too stiff! I love the smell of the wash, the last of the material has a longer life & the time out by the washline gives me a little peace & serenity!
