When I got married the first time, I got my paternal grandmother's wringer washer and her tubs. I was so excited. I would get up early and start my laundry around 6 a.m. I could have most of it done by 9-10a.m. My ex was a machinist so I would let his clothes agitate in Lestoil for about 30 minutes. That grease and oil was going to come out of his work clothes or go in the trash. Luckily for our budget it came out. Loved hanging the clothes out on the line. If it rained a little it was great for the ones that would have to be ironed. Roll'em up and stick 'em in the fridge. Lost a few buttons but learned how to sew them on correctly. Didn't use much starch except for dress shirts and blouses. I did more sewing than I thought come to think about it and all by hand mostly mending. Wish I had a clothesline. Often it would come in handy.
