These need to be changed. I think it’s absolutely stupid that laws exist that don’t allow people to hang clothes outside (porch or similar). These need to be changed.

Right now I dry them mostly in the dryer, but everything else is hung on hangers on a line I stretched from one side of my laundry room to the other. I can hang up about 2 super sized loads of laundry there and they will be dry by the next day. I do a load or 2 (5 of us) every day when I first get home from work. When I get home the next day the clothes are dry and ready to hang in closets as they are already on hangers! I love doing laundry like this. I have a almost brand new dryer but I try to use it the very least I can get by with. I could hang my clothes outside but it would require me hauling the clothes out and around & down to the back yard and it would just never get done :) That $8 4 line clothes line that I picked up at Lowes? or HD? has not only saved electricity & money, but has made doing laundry so much more enjoyable! Now I am determined to get a rack to hang the heavy stuff on too. (Its a lot cooler in the summer time too, when you don't heat up the house by running the dryer!)

The other 1/2 [usually] takes up 3-4 drying [some items need to be dried flat] racks set up in the living room, plus a clothing rod in the shower. Who ever made up the stupid law prohibiting drying clothes [while on one's own property] outside [regardless on a porch/balcony or lawn] is incredibly close minded & ignorant!!!

When it rains (not often), I use them instead of my clothesline. People are shocked when they come into my house and see no dryer. I hope I have enlightened a few potential buyers that have been tramping through my house lately. lol I’ve got two of these. When it rains (not often), I use them instead of my clothesline.
