I still really need help with diagnostics, though.

Not a problem....
Retractable clothesline from FAMOUS PLUMBING SUPPLY
or
Amazon.com: Hills Extenda 4 (formerly Quatro 4) Retractable Clothesline: Kitchen & Dining
I have a homemade version of the 4 line device directly over my washer and dryer. A few short pieces of 2"x4" nailed into the wall studs, some screw in J hooks plus smooth braided rope (for you landlubbers  ), and voila - indoor drying lines (haaaar matey  ).
I have a stronger longer clothesline in my family room downstairs for heavier items. One end is attached to the steel beam support thingie and the other to a heavy duty nail driven into one end of my downstairs fireplace mantle (untreated railroad tie). I roll it up over my fist and secure with a velcro strap when not in use.

Thanks for that retractable clothesline link.
I've been looking for one of those for quite awhile. If they are like the ones I'm familiar with they won't hold up to heavy duty use, but the ladies in my house delicate items that are too delicate to machine dry. My daughters shrieked when I brought a pack of clothespins home and explained what they were.

With "joy" or with "horror"?
My daughter has this skeptical eye-rolling look that makes me feel like I'm behind the display glass of a museum exhibit...

Definitely not joy, but not horror either. More like shock and awe followed by the requisite eye-rolling you described so well. OTOH I did get a bit of a lecture just last evening from the "green child" about drying racks.

We just use collapsable racks in our living room (unless company is coming over). In winter it is so dry they tend to dry quickly. If it cold enough that we have the living room fire place on they dry very quickly.
