Line Drying Clothes

Today I finally line dried my first complete load of clothes. All along I've been line drying (draped over the shower rod) some clothes here and there, but today I managed to keep the whole load (and it was a big one) out of the dryer. Maybe I'll post a picture tomorrow. I got one of those fold up wooden clothes drying racks. Got it at Friedman's (local) and it's made in the USA. I also took all the shirts that would get put on hangers and let them dry in the bathroom on the rod- then they can go straight to the closet, that's easy. It took quite awhile to get all the clothes to fit on the rack, but hopefully I'll get faster at that. I'm sure I won't line dry everything, but if I can cut my dryer use by 50% for now, I'd say that's pretty good.

Line Drying

I want to start line drying clothes and want to put it up in the garage but Calvin's not real crazy about that idea, just wondering if anyone has any tips?

The can is half empty,...

which is actually a good thing :) Seems like the 35 gallon challenge wasn't that much of a challenge after all. We literally had a bag and a half of garbage all week. I religiously sorted everything and ended up needing to throw out very little. My recycling was filled to the top though. I think you all have the smaller cans now, but if you don't you should try it! You can do it!

On another note I completely forgot about "Hangin' out day" on Thursday. Honestly, I didn't do any laundry anyway :) And didn't it rain? Anyway, I am going to try in this weekend, even if I have to hang things inside, Ill let you know how that goes.
