If you remember from one of my earlier posts, I am due to be getting a clothes line, made by my handy husband. However, it looks like he isn’t going to get time for another week or more, so I decided to take the situation into my own hands. And lets just say I am not quite as handy or crafty as he is. So here is my new (yet temporary) clothes line…
Here you are looking at a rope out of Eric’s junk, tied around the posts on our back porch. Thankfully, no one can see in our back yard besides some strange people that live behind us. Everything else is woods.
I’m really proud of my clothes line and I think it will be even better when we get our next power bill. Our dryer, which we bought only 2 years ago, has been acting up and you have to put everything through 2 cycles before it is dry…which uses too much power! So this is my alternative. As long as the weather permits, I plan to hang everything out, and then just fluff them in the dryer, to get the crispiness out of them! This is even more green than Energy-Star appliances! YAY!
And aside from saving energy, Elly’s cloth diapers and wipes (which is what you see hanging out to dry) are smelling great! No more zoo-smell for us! And I have been told that the sunshine helps to get stains out. So they will be bright white and bleech free! I’m not sure why I didn’t do this sooner…
