Hello ladies,
I have 4 LONG lines in my side yard and can not live without them.
I first wash and hang my towels and sheets, the towels take longer to dry. I hang bath towls together and kitchen towels together. This makes for an easy take down because the sorting is done.
I have enough room on the lines to hang all my sheets seperate and they will dry in minutes. I have hung my comforters over three lines and pined all before...it is best way I think.
I then wash and hang my dark clothes, they take a while to dry also, then the lights, and then the whites. I sort as I hang on the line ALL of our clothes, mine together, DH together, sons together...sorting done and I fold out at the line (I get plenty of fresh air this way) and stack or drape over the basket as needed...when in the house, I first hit the boys rooms....their clothes on top of basket and work way thru the house til finished.
By the time all that is done ... I NEED a break !
I would be lost with out my clothes lines and props for them. I also have a spare room in the house that I hang lines in the winter months so I can use if I want to. No one goes in there...company that is.
I'm sure that this has saved us a ton on the light bill.
My pet peeve about clothes pins is this : I hate the small ones (the kind you get at the dollar stores)....I have some larger ones but, they are dwindling on me. I do not know where I got the big ones at but, I need more. I don't like the round ones either.
Does anyone know where to get GOOD pins ?
Thanks for letting me ramble on about my lines and pins,
spacedup in IN..
Where we always have wind and it makes for fast drying on the lines.
