Hey, I *love* my clothesline. I honestly do. I get a big charge out of
hanging the clothes out, and
how good they smell when you bring them in. I even love wearing a
"clothespin apron". Isn't that
weird? I know exactly how much wind, and how much heat, and how much
humidity makes
for a perfect "clothes-hanging-out day".
However, I don't love it between the months of November-February.

from the land of a million clotheslines

i guess i'm lucky then. i can pretty much use the clothesline all year, in
fact i do.
rarely use the clothesdryer anymore.
did when the kids were small and we went thru all those changes of clothes
in one day. argh.
now i'll hang them on the big line outside, then if the weather starts to
deteriorate at all, i'll put them on a small plastic covered metal A frame
dryer either on the deck but under the eaves so they still get wind and/sun
if there is any left (its on the due north side of the house, thats would be
due south for northern hemisphere) or i'll put the A frame in the garage for
a day or if most of the clothes are darn near totally dry i'll put that A
frame in the laundry room. then i'll fold them next day and put them on
shelves in the water heater cupboard for a day to be sure they're all dry
and warm.
sound labour intensive but i'd have to fold them all anyhow, so just moving
around a bit, no biggy really.
saves on the cost of running the dryer which uses a lot of
electricity...which aint cheap nowdays.
with only three of us we dont wash everyday now.
i love my clothesline.

Me too Sherry. Humidity here is really low so things dry really fast.
I use a dryer too but I do like sheets off the line.
One nice thing is it gets you out of the house and enjoying the fresh
air.

Jeanne, I'm just so Glad you have your computer doings up and going. I
didn't know what we would do if we needed to know/find something and you
were still up your creek. It's so good to have you looking out for us.

: Good point! And do you prefer any particular type of tea?
: My dryer doesn't have a hose to the great outdoors, but a plastic tank for
: condensation water instead. And I do clean the filter frequently -lint
: swiped off the screen thingy after every load, and rinse out the
: condensation filter once a month. Do I get a prize?
: Roberta in D

Now that is something I just cant wrap my brain around being a good thing, a
dryer not vented to the outside!? I cannot fathom the amount of lint and
moisture that would build up inside my home if mine weren't vented to the
great outdoors. I have asthma and terrible dust allergies.

So just how does your dryer work? How do you not drown in the moist air? and
what of all the little bunnies and furballs that tend to mate and come to
life in the dryer? where do they go? how do you contain them?

Downunder the 'usual' household dryer isn't vented outside, nor have I
seen one with a condensation filter. Mine is about 14 years old so
newer models may differ.

Mine has a vent at the front in the door which is cleaned every load
or two ( depending on the fabric and wether it is just a 10 minute
finish off. The heating element was replaced a couple of years ago and
this is the only time it has been 'pulled to bits'. This was done by a
electrician, but I don't think it is something the untrained are
supposed to do.

No, Jeanne, you somehow find things that most people don't, and can't,
find. I don't know how you do it. I google often but only find a
great site once every 6-9 months. You find great sites almost daily.
You do something more than type words and hit search. Some people can
google a little, some people google well, and then there are a few
like yourself who have attained "google greatness" and find the most
fantastically useful web sites on the net. I don't know if it is a
skill or a talent, but whatever it is you definitely have it.

Like it or not, you are a Guru of the Google Search.

i got ya beat on age of machine, Dee.
i bought my clothes dryer back about 1984.
similar to yours with the round vent on the door which i clean out every
use.
vents into the laundry room so when i use it i open both windows and the
back door so the windows dont drip, lol.
there is also an air intake thing on the back of the machine i must check
and clean this week. it can get dusty.
only thing i've had to do to it in all those yrs is replace the on/off
button on the front.
i did it myself, finding where to buy the button and calling/picking the
brain of an electrician at the company that makes them.
its worked just fine and dandy since then, about 9 yrs ago now.
tho to be fair, i dont use it all that much, eh.
cheers,
jeanne
