I'm sure to most of you, drying clothes on the line isn't too novel, but for me it's a new experience. We've had one in our backyard all along, but we also have a GE dryer that looks brand new. It was my parents but when the drum started squeaking, the appliance place said it would be just as practical to buy a new one rather than fix the old one.
Since when did dryers become disposable?
Anyway, it works just fine, the squeaks are pretty annoying, but it gets the job done. . . until the clothesline was re-strung! Now we have a good sized line that accommodates 2 loads worth of damp laundry! What a peaceful, meditative act. And it'll lower the electric bill a bit! I also started painting the rain barrels a hunter green instead of leaving them the dirt-showing, g

laring white. So much better! The mister and I were talking about building a water tower-like structure for the stand of one of them, you know, just to be funny.
We also put the larger furniture objects out at the street with "Free" signs on them. We got rid of 5 chairs and a coffee table with minimal effort! Some things have been Craigs listed, others eBayed, and the majority will be given to the community thrift store. Purging feels so good!
