Old-fashioned clothesline

Post by CarolC »

I wash 2 loads of pet laundry a day :wash: and dry 2 loads a day. :laundry: I just got something I've wanted since 1995. A pair of old-fashioned iron clothesline posts off Craigslist for $25. The man who fixed my fence installed them.

If I line-dry 2 loads a day, and my dryer uses 2100 watts, that saves 4200 watts a day just on pet laundry. It's much better for the planet, and also takes some strain off the electrical grid, because where I live they have frequent problems with the grid and keep calling for us to conserve to avoid rolling blackouts. :shock:

In 1995, I had my first handicapped dog, and I was doing 3 twin blankets a day, and hanging them on a makeshift clothesline strung across the corner of the fence. I've wished for a real clothesline ever since. My wish finally came true! :)

The kind covered in green plastic. I'm not sure if the core is solid or braided wire.
