I had one in our old house and now our new house for 16 years. The wife wont go out there and use it. I dry almost all my clothes on the line. My T shirts and flannel shirts are dry in 1/2 hour most sunny breezy days. Jeans take about 4 hours. I even put out my jeans in winter time and amazing they dry pretty good , even last year when it was 16 below F. If I take them out when the jeans are warm, the jeans are almost dry in an hour or so. I dont know why, but the liberals in the city have ordinances against clothes lines. They want wind power and demand the wind mills are way out in the country where i live, but refuse to have them along Lake Michigan , cause it's unsightly.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

When I was a kid my mom used a ringer washer and hung the clothes out on the line. Some fond memories. (for me lol)
Wife tried the lines for a couple years off and on but with reliable power, and cottonwood and other shidt in the air the drier made more sense.

Remember having to help her. When we lived with grandparents, I pumped many a washtub of water for the ringer washer and then you had to pump a tub for the rinse water. After 2-3 loads, you emptied the washer, put the rinse water in the washer, and pumped more rinse water. Pump long slow strokes to keep the water clear.

Got one. Nothing like the fresh air. No need for dryer sheets or softener.
Close lines are against the law here. What they can't see won't hurt them.

We don't have one in town.
Out at the farm the uprights are railroad rail, been there years before I was born. Still straight and in use during the warm months.

I suspect that it has something to do with the communist UN Agenda 21 as in 2021. It's a city ordinance. The other cities have the same thing on their books I'm told. They want a complete control of the tiny minutia of everybody's lives down to how much water is used in a shower to whether you can air dry your very own clothes outside. Example, An old girlfriend's property was zoned into city limits, probably 4 miles away. I constructed a line that would be hidden as much as possible when in use and retracted back into the tool shed when not used.

PS:. I use a very heavy gauge solid aluminum wire. It gets wiped down with a vinegar soaked rag before every use to get rid of any potential mites. Rarely does a bird land on it. Thats all the maintenance it requires and should outlast me.

Can't. Laundry won't dry in incessant rain and the howling winds will blow it away.
