My dryer quit about 10 years ago.
I hang my clothes on the line during the summer and during the winter I hang them on the sun porch where a space heater provides heat.
Impressive! Our dryer has been acting up for a while. I use the clothesline in the spring, summer and fall; but in the winter have no where inside to hang clothes for our family of eight. Right now we just smack it a few times to get the drum spinning.
We have a new dryer that rarely gets used. We have a space behind our garage that is rarely used so I had hubby put up clotheslines years ago. It’s actually just as easy to hang them and fold them as I get them in as it is to load and unload the dryer.
Many are not allowed to have clothes lines anymore. I know I am not. I would LOVE a clothes line, but the HOA says no way.....we can't even have the wooden one with lines that you can sit on the Lanai.....it won't happen. Many are in the same situation.
If you ever decide you want a dryer again, these guys can hook you up.

They’ve developed a huge following, since Obama’s eco-friendly “green” washers and dryers just can’t cut the mustard.
Oh lucky you because your HOA or city councikl does not prohibit that.
You sound like one of my wife's brothers. He hangs his clothes on clothes-lines. Says he doesn't need a dryer, and lives very simply (and cheaply). I have fond memories of helping my mom hang clothes on a clothes-line, and retrieving downed clothes from the yard on windy days. She also used a scrub-board in the bathtub for washing clothes, until my dad bought her a washing machine. It had a set of rollers on top for inserting clothing to wring out water. People take modern appliances for granted today, but they weren't a necessity in the past.
