Oh brother do I miss my clothes line and the smell of fresh hung out to dry sheets! When I actually had a line that was not restricted I hung everything out - barely used the dryer. Clothes last longer, look better, and less wrinkled.

Me too!

My wife has been doing the drying and it works out fine for me?

Same here. A dryer is hard on good clothes. Nice cotton clothes start look shabby when dried over and over. Hanging clothes is hardly inconvenient and save electricity, too.

I also use the retractable line in the garage. Love it!

I have a wall mounted drying rack in the laundry room. You just lift it up when you want it when done push it down when you're done. I also have plastic holders that hang over the top of the doors in the laundry room. Sweaters, I have a table top mesh square and put it on my lanai table and lay the sweater on it.

One of my neighbors washes quilts and bedspreads in her washer while her husband washes the car. Then he pulls car nice and clean into garage and she spreads spreads/quilts on car to dry. Out of sun so no fading and no wrinkles from stuffing into dryer. Works great!

This is probably a hi-jack, but would you be offended if your neighbor had a clothesline in their backyard?

Yes

But..if they chose to do that, Florida law says it is permissible.....anywhere.....even The Villages.

Save energy and dry cloths in the sun not the dryer

Sorry but I don't want to see anyone's skivvies baking in the sun

Where is it written?
