We've got a parallel umbrella model that holds a great many clothes. I rather enjoy carrying my basket of clothespins, and pinning them all along the bottom of my shirt in between loads. One day, the UPS man came by and I had clothespin fringe along every available seam. I shrugged my shoulders and said I was doing laundry that day. He just laughed and said he hadn't even noticed -- thought I had on a fancy dress.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the waffle weave towel tip -- hadn't thought of that.countrypeapiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276399830149241673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-25211589493669255932008-04-23T12:54:00.000+02:002008-04-23T12:54:00.000+02:00Jess, Portland is tricky because of the humidity, ...Jess, Portland is tricky because of the humidity, but what I find is that fans in the summer really do help a lot, and in the winter radiators dry clothes lickety split. We keep our rack tucked in our bedroom and do our laundry once a week so we don't have to look at it most of the time. Towels are definitely the hardest things to dry though - especially in the bathroom!<BR/><BR/>Sun dried clothes do smell good! If we didn't have a construction site just beyond our balcony I would dry there too - the rack makes it easy to move clothes around.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-27884292407358928792008-04-23T09:05:00.000+02:002008-04-23T09:05:00.000+02:00Prior to moving here, my experience with non-drier...Prior to moving here, my experience with non-drier households was limited to our family vacations in Minnesota where you only did laundry on sunny days because the line out back was the only drying option. The drying rack is fine, but I live for the warm weather where I can hang out the clothes - "green" or not.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945084566888667782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-14273396393070180502008-04-22T18:59:00.000+02:002008-04-22T18:59:00.000+02:00I'm having flashbacks to my drying rack days in It...I'm having flashbacks to my drying rack days in Italy - the worst part was having all the laundry on display in the living room/dining room. I'm tempted to invest in a drying rack here, now, except my bath towel barely dries in between showers. Hmm...now you've got me thinking.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563414055936087654noreply@blogger.com
