Time....that is MY issue. I can't do all the laundry in one day if I don't have a tumble dryer. I haven't the TIME to do one load a day and let it line or 'horse' dry.

I LOVED my outdoor clothesline...when I had the TIME to go hang clothes out when the neighbors weren't mowing, plowing, the wind wasn't gusting to 60 MPH (take my clothes to the next state), raining, snowing, whatever.

There is nothing quite like the smell of outdoor line dried clothes. But I think I'll keep my tumble dryer, thank you.
