Poll - do you???

Options
From our laundry thread it seems a lot of us hang out our laundry.

I was wondering how many do on this list. Lurkers too, Drop a post if you hang your laundry to dry (inside or out) rather than use a dryer on any sort of regular basis.

Can we top 100 people???

    I'll start
    We hang out our laundry almost without exception. When it rains we move it inside.

    Hang it out to dry! I'm a wee poor student, can't afford the bills :laugh: So most days there's all sorts of underwear hanging all around the house (I live with 3 other girls!!)

    I hang it all usually....if its the winter though I dry some of it....I do set up lines in my garage too though...but sometimes it takes a few days to dry that way so for things I need quick I dry them in the dryer...not much at all really though.:bigsmile:

    some pros for me....Its alittle bit of exercise, good therapy to shake and fold outside when they are done...its ME time LOL...I love the smell of the fresh air on your cloths! And being good for mother earth is a double plus!!!

    hugs!

    When I lived in Illinois, I lived in a nice trailer and had a big back yard with one of those round clothes lines. I loved it and always hung my clothes outside but now I live in Washington State in a second story condo with no place to hang clothes so I dry them all in the dryer.

    We don't have anywhere to hang ours so it goes into the dryer. I'd love a clothes line though!

    We hang it outside as often as the weather will allow. Sometimes I end up putting my laundry off for too long just waiting for a sunny day.

    I do the same sometimes....like today we were suppose to have thunderstorms this afternoon...so I weighed the options...then said...shoot....I have six loads I can't hold off any longer...so far its sunny and no rain in sight...so far!

    hugs!

    I have never in my life hung laundry out to dry. I wouldn't even know how!:laugh:

    It's against our homeowners association rules anyway.:grumble:

    ReallY?
    I love the smell. But living in sunny AZ in a home that has a huge, 1950's era clothes line I couldn't justify NOT doing it.

    If you want to give it a try feel free to come for a visit.:wink: I'll show you how it's done.:laugh: :laugh:

    It's not so bad, just time consuming.

    OMGosh....most definitely!

    I wanna smell that smell!:frown:

    I watched the movie "Premonition" the other night and she was hanging out her laundry and I commented to my husband how strange that would be....especially as much as it thunderstorms here in Indiana. We'd be running for dear life to save our drawers quite frequently.:laugh:

    Uh...a chance to visit AZ? I am so there!:bigsmile: Teach me O' grasshopper!

    hang it...in my flat as i have to go through the stairwell next door to get to the garden and can't be bothered with that hassle. but living on your own has benefits as i generally get away with waiting for a while before doing the washing.
