    Question For those that hang laundry ?

    Do you have an outdoor and indoor line?
    Retractable clothesline? Portable Clothes rack?

    I may be interested in an old clothes drying rack, do they still make these?

    I have a retractable clothes line in my basement and also a folding one that I used to use for sweaters and things that could not be thrown in the dryer.

    I have lines in the basement, then the T shaped things that hold up three lines in the yard. I am too uncoordinated and those nice little sweater drying racks always end up on the floor.

    My clothes line is outside, but I am planning on putting one in the garage for winter, and rainy days.

    Okay where do you get a Retractable clothesline and how much about is it??
    My dryer is broken so I am hanging clothes out and that seems like the perfect solution for now..

    I have an outdoor clothesline that I use as much as I can from early spring until the snow starts to come down. In the winter I hang clothes up on a line in the basement as we have a pellet stove down there, and it dries the clothes quickly.

    I have a 100' rope strung between several trees for the summer time. In winter, I use drying racks in the basement, but I do use the dryer for jeans, sweatshirts and sheets- since they do not fit on the racks.

    Home Depot carries the retractable lines. Don't remember the price, but they did carry them this spring.

    I have an outside line and a drying rack that I use inside and out, durning the winter I used the drying rack in the living room where the pellet stove could blow on it and the clothes if put out in the evening would be dry by morning which also added some moisture to the house for my plants...Karla
