Love to Line Dry

My husband mounted this umbrella-style line in a bucket of cement. Works great! I can get three extra large loads on at one time, if I am careful to use space wisely when hanging up clothes. With three kids in school uniforms, baseball uniforms and daily swimming classes, I do 2 loads of laundry a day. Since getting this line, I have only had to use my dryer twice in 1 1/2 months! Amazing! Admittedly, takes a little longer than using the dryer and as a working mom, I have to make sure I hang a load or two early in the morning before work. Also a laundry basket with wet clothes is surprisingly heavy, but overall I am thrilled with my line and I feel good about my little efforts to go green!
I'm lucky that I live in sunny San Diego, so I do not have inclement weather to worry about, also we live on a private 1/3 acre, so my neighbors don't have to see my hanging laundry and I can hang up clothes in my pajamas (who wants to get dressed up; just to hang clothes on the line!).
Overall, I am very pleased with my line. The lines are a little saggy and I've been too lazy to pull them tighter, but doesn't affect the way the clothes dry.
