If you want to cut your power bill in half get a solar powered dryer. We have one, but i'm about the only one to use it.

Nearly everybody has a clothesline here.
Even have one at the cabin. If I want to stay out for a while I can wash a few things in the tub and hang on the line.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have the green plastic coated metal line, about 4 of them that are about 20 foot long. My wife grew up with clothes dryer's, I did not. She likes the dryer dried clothes, I like the line dried better. I am getting wimpier every year and quit line drying about the time our trapping season starts and usually don't start until I am planting our garden.

You can buy the retractable ones at the big box stores that are pretty handy.

My mom used a clothes line all the time. When I first got married, we used one for the first few years until we bought a dryer.

I had a pair of jeans snap in half once on the clothes line. Pants froze and it was windy.

I got a dryer a few years ago, but still have the clothes line outside. Took down the one inside by the stove when I got married. Wife doesn't use the clothes line as much as I used to, but still gets used whenever it is sunny out. Dries clothes nice, saves power, and helps keep the house cool by not running the dryer when it is hot outside.
