Hanging laundry on the line *the science*
To my great Joy My U. got the new clothes line hung up this weekend. I have been using a single line for 8-9 years now and never have enough room or never as much as I wished I had. . You see I love to spoil the fun of the electric company!
They find great fun in the humor of us paying to dry our clothes in a dryer and then paying more to cool the house down after the dryer is emptied. Then all those hot clothes gust heats up the room and the poor soul hanging them even more.
So I in my great wisdom (cocky aren't I) have been hanging my clothing for years!
Trying to sell the house this year and doing away with a clothes line for several months really showed up on the electric bill.
I saw this multi line clothes line at a dolor type store for $25.
Well My Time is a valuable commodity.
You may ask well hanging clothing is time consuming...Oh really?
Lets count the costs. After I go hang out this next load...
Well it is now 9:30 p.m. hee hee hee
I hang the t shirts and such upside down and put in a hanger.
When dry they gust go right into the closets.

The white jug is a recycled laundry jug cut open on one side for the clothes pens. I have 200 and use them all up when sox and undies are on the lines.
every 15 minutes I had another double load to hang and put away.
It was awesome. The weather was balmy and the breeze through the wet cloth was nice.
I wore a nice big hat.
This was such fast work of it. The shirts dried in less than 15 minutes.
Done by the time the washer stopped and the dishes were loaded.
The delicates were almost dry by the time I had the whole load hung, and I work fast!
Load by load. I had a months laundry to do because of all the health issues.
The childrens clothing has been washed twice but our things were all in a huge mound!
I think I did 12 double loads (front loader Neptune washer) and a quilt that was hanging in the master bedroom.
The house was cool.
I used the dryer for 5 minutes to soften the jeans with a wet towel.
Don't let the things dry hard. Remove them from the line just when dry.
I did not pay the cost of unning the dryer all day and having all the wet clothes add up waiting the turn to go into the dryer. I only dried the dress shirts in the dryer and that after 8 p.m.
I think I paid for the clothes line and clothes pens in one day! :)
This was so wonderful to have a day outside. The breeze was so sweet a gift and the job finished a big relief.
I rested and iced after the dinner meal.

I like your home science lessons. You are very mathodical
I love that they dry so fast. around here....it takes all day, but I still do it as often as I can. :)
Donetta---I LOVE a clothes line! This is the first time (living where we do) that I Don't HAVE one!
I love the smell of sheets off the line and the crisp feel!
Also---as a side note...I have not heard from Denise of ShortyBearsPlace---have you??? I am worried.
