Thanks jeanne.
We actually have 5 tiers of electric prices going from
12c to 30c. We seem to average about 20c.
DH commented last week about the carbon footprint
quilters running irons a lot make. I try to minimize
but still use it a lot.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all use common sense and do things in simple

that has come from these back economic times we are experiencing.
I have been hanging out my laundry as much as possible for the forty years
I've been married, to save energy mostly. I've read that the sun kills germs
on laundry better than bleach, and you sure can't beat the smell of sheets
and towels that have dried outdoors. I always enjoy getting out in the fresh
air myself, and get more exercise hanging the laundry outside than I would
just transferring it from the washer to the dryer.

I'm with you Sally. I don't care if it's in the back yard or the side yard.
But front yard, I'd have a problem with.

That said, we have no space for an outdoor clothesline here. So we've strung
one in the basement laundry room. Things get a little more linty that way,
but I can use it all year round no matter the weather.

We have drying racks in our spare room that we use, but if I had room
outside I would really use an outdoor one instead. I would not mind at all
if my neighbors hung their laundry outside either, even if it was in the
front yard.
