The laundry is just about done drying. I noticed this year that DH hung a tarp in the basement, it makes the heat stay in one spot and this is where I have hung the clothes lines. I am only able to have three, one long and two short, so there isn't much room,but with the heat contained in this area I have saved so much money on not using the dryer. The clothes dry really fast and I have washed three full loads of laundry just today and the last load is on the line now! I feel great about it! Just wanted to share!:D

This is terrific!!! I'm all for saving money in any way I can that is legal, moral and ethical!:toothy:

Michele - do you have to iron when you hang dry - I am kindof a freak about ironing and have tried to get away from that - but now that my dryer is taking the proverbial dump on me my clothes are coming out so wrinkly - and I am spending hours ironing again ( I am bad - I even do underwear) so is it the same with hang dry??

Good for you! My dryer hasn't been working well lately, so I'm going to start hanging more clothes again. I love the feeling of doing four loads of wash and only having to dry one!

This is great. I want to air dry our clothes more often. I sometimes feel like the dryer is always running. ugh

I try to hang up as many clothes as I can to dry. I do end up using the drier for sheets, towels, and underwear. I really don't iron. I will sometimes put the clothes in the drier for about five minutes to take the wrinkles out and then hang them up to dry. It works out pretty well.

WTG Michele! :clap:

Neato Michelle! Great money saver.:)

WTG!:D

Kimmee- I don't iron. only for weddings, funerals and fabric! :toothy:

Most of what DH and I wear are jeans with turtlenecks and sweaters. When I do wear something nice in warmer weather I will then break out the iron. I feel the jeans wrinkles get out fast once you get moving and the wool sweaters hide a lot of wrinkles, so I'm feeling okay with it for now.

WTG!!!

WTG! I would rather hang my laundry to dry too.
