If you dry your clothes on a line, they will last a lot longer. Not getting beat up in the dryer.

I feel your pain ! That was the route I was headed on until divorcing a city girl cured mine.Rob R. wrote:Paul, I have caved in on the laundry. Been there and done that with the rope and the one that looks like an antenna. I turned an old bathroom in the upstairs of the house into a laundry room, now the laundry has to go a maximum of 15' to get washed and dried. I have the biggest washer and dryer that will fit in the house...cut the laundry time in half and knocked the electric bill down about ~20$ per month also. Having unlimited hot water from a coal boiler and cheap electric helps also.
In the winter when the EFM is cranking I do hang up some of the heavy stuff in the basement. The rest of it never comes downstairs.
Now I'm lucky that Melissa is a country girl that appreciates the value of coal stoves and clothes lines.

Dryer is in our basement. In the winter, I used to cut a let off of my wife's panty hose and slip it over the dryer vent hose. Just laid the pipe on the cellar floor. It worked great. Trapped the lint and added moisture to the very dry cellar.
Also, use a vintage clothes rack over the register.

The squeal of steel clothe line pulleys is a sound of my childhood long gone, but once common.
