+1 in the winter & cloths line in the summer--economic & no breakage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

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

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.

I feel your pain ! That was the route I was headed on until divorcing a city girl cured mine.

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.

I have the "Amish" cloths line set up at the house off the laundry room door. Pole set in the ground about 70' our with a line on pullies. straight from the washer to the line and run them out.

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

The same "clothes dryer" will also heat the iron,... and cook your meals.

One coal-fired appliance that does it all.

With all the humidity that a coal stove removes from a house in the winter, it would help
