We use the Ace hardware in the Southern Trace center - it's close enough to walk or ride the bikes (speaking of Greening!)

Yes, we use this in place of the ones that come with the house.
We actually bought two and have had the ones up ho,me for decades, and have had zero maintenance costs.
The dryer works in conjunction with help from 'MOM" whom provides the wind and sun.
MM-MMMM, nothing like the clean, fresh feel and fragrance of our garments, towels, linens, and throw rugs.

not to mention turning off the gas supply and the circuit breakers to those huge white boxes.

We still use the washing machines that came with the home - we're not the type to use the washboard!!

In October we went on the 10/10/10 eco home tour through Washington DC and were pleasantly surprised to see some way upmarket homes in prestigious, celebrity- and politician-saturated Georgetown going green.

Though we started this as a novelty, we've come to appreciate the simplicity, cost-savings, lower maintenance, and quiet of oiur projects.
