I got one of those things too Cathe! Use it indoors when it's raining. Makes it steamy but that's not always a bad thing LOL!

Whatever rocks yours and Hans boat I suppose :roll: I don't have an inside airer, but I do have a wrought iron spiral staircase which is great for drying sheets you won't believe how much I can fit on it sometimes it looks like a chinese laundry :lol:

I'm gobsmacked! Absolutely gobsmacked.... Here in Australia (well, in Queensland where I live), a Hills Hoist (that is a rotary clothes line) is mandatory for every house. Most of my friends do not dry clothes in any other way but on the clothes line. I realise we live in what is called "The Sunshine State", but even in Victoria (down south), most houses have clothes lines. I do not even own a clothes dryer.

Sometimes its so hot and dry that as I finish hanging out a load of washing, I can almost begin bringing them back in again - dry!

I admit I envy the softness of towels coming out of the dryer when we are on holidays, but you cant beat the smell and freshness of wind blown dry clothes.

I still use mine, the clothes smell so good and the sheets oh my, get into a bed with sheets just washed is pure Heaven! my yuppy neighbor is not to happy with my clothes line, his problem not mine!!!

In many "covenant communities" here, you are not even allowed to HAVE a clothesline. They think it's unsightly. :roll:

I like using the indoor rack in winter, when the forced air heat makes the air so dry. Hopefully it adds some humidity.

When the sun shines, and the temps rise above 40, I use mine. When the temps rise really high, I'll wash laundry in the evening, and in the morning hang it out before the outside becomes a sauna. And when the sun sets (on the other side of the house) and shade stretches across the line, the laundry will come in.

Sheets - my favorite thing to hang on the line.

I can't use fabric softener - allergic - so things can get a little stiff, but ooooh do they smell good.

I still use a clothesliine. I love my sheets hung out. But I do not hang our clothes that we wear because you have to iron everything it takes out the permanent press. We don't mind the stiff towels either. Sure does count down on the electric bill in the summer.

k, is going to love this, B.
She watched neighbors line, for clues, as to what kind of lap quilt to make.
My dryer has been broke down, over two months, but even when it was working, I hung a lot of clothes up.
I have always hung most of my own clothes up on hangers in wash room, so they wouldn't fade. Did not want them in dryer. I do miss the dryer, when washing fabrics though.
I am not sure, once dry on a rack, if ironing them, is enought to take care of the shrinking thing. good poem, B! :D
