I would love to have an outside clothes line, I grew up with one, I had one until... you guessed! it I moved into the condo lifestyle. So many single family communities don't allow them, especially on Sunday's. I did read an article many months ago where people were working to bring it back into vogue, using the arguement it is better for the environment.
I will cheat and throw my bathroom rugs outside over the fencing to dry, haven't heard any complaints...yet.
