Reading the BTD thread and the post on installing washer and dryer made me think back as a kid. Growing up we didn't have dryer, so everything was hung out to dry. In winter was hung in basement to dry. We did have a washer but was the old type with hand wringer.
When I was mid-teens, we got the new style of both. Even than the dryer was used sparingly!! The cost wasn't justified when the cloths line was still intact and a useable low-cost option. I'm sure the thought was don't use much will last a long-time. Lol
When we got married a clothesline was put in right away and was used all the time. We did however have the luxury of a washer and dryer. My wife was the one that wanted a clothesline installed from day one after we built the home together from ground up.
Times have changed for the better in ways, in this case.
