Is it due to the high price of dryers? The high price of electricity/gas to run them? The low income level? <br />What about washers...are those more/very common? <br />(This is as interesting to me as when I found out that it is common in Hawaii to not have garage doors.)ChezChanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485958981459510640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-44448354546557054782009-07-26T12:27:03.150+10:002009-07-26T12:27:03.150+10:00Hi Annette!

WE cannot dry year round because of tree pollen and humidity, sometimes the air is just too wet. My aunt and uncle use their line exclusively and see a good difference in the electric bill.<br />as we have laundry running almost all the time using the line makes a big difference in our electric bill, but I don't use it exclusively because I'd never get caught up.CailinMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286856318936072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-78889929284165083602009-07-24T02:36:37.503+10:002009-07-24T02:36:37.503+10:00What makes this classic unique is the shape of tho...What makes this classic unique is the shape of those beads, the clasp, the subtle punch of color.

Our weather in Australia is pretty mild - only a few places get snow and very cold weather seems to be for only short bursts, so drying outside is a valid option year round. <br /><br />The only place where they're probably not "allowed" might be some apartment buildings in the city I guess.<br /><br />Morgan, I'll do that!Annette Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798167381076660096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-37273258886330846442009-07-23T15:36:24.687+10:002009-07-23T15:36:24.687+10:00would you believe that clothes lines are not even ...would you believe that clothes lines are not even allowed in many neighborhoods in the U.S.? It's against the Home Owner's Association bylaws for many neighborhoods. <br /><br />Some people here do a clothesline in the basement, or even one that is retractable across the shower. One of my family members has a retractable one that goes across the deck. <br /><br />You should post a picture of your clothesline! I would love to hear more about what it's like living in Australia. Is there anything else other than the clotheslines that you have noticed as different from the U.S.?Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652107321069740503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-23709585225881603642009-07-23T15:09:56.326+10:002009-07-23T15:09:56.326+10:00This one is really elegant.Very classy!!

Everything else I hang on the 2 drying racks in my bedroom or over the bathtub in the guest bathroom. If I had a line I'd put the sheets out there too! If I had a family I would use the dryer, how many racks can you have in your house?<br />Is it the norm where you live, to not have a dryer, just clothes lines? Does it not get too cold or icky out in the winter? There aren't too many places I know of where you could hang your clothes out year round.ChezChanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485958981459510640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-33847090911302172992009-07-23T06:46:22.485+10:002009-07-23T06:46:22.485+10:00Yes, I was stunned when I found out the US doesn&#...Yes, I was stunned when I found out the US doesn't generally have clothes lines. Apparently they are ugly and people don't want to see them.... *rolls eyes* It's amazing that they need a 'Right to Dry' group, it says something about a wasteful society I think.<br /><br />Love todays pic, the blue against the black is gorgeous!Melindahttp://wahmbizbuilder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818700596529807879.post-39901470621443802962009-07-23T05:39:54.353+10:002009-07-23T05:39:54.353+10:00I love the clasp on the side of this one!

My Nana ALWAYS hung the "wash" outside on the line but in those days everyone did it. I grew up watching my mom do the same, but it is now seldom done.Theta Momhttp://www.thetamom.comnoreply@blogger.com
