No more basement drying . . . maybe

One definite way to save on the electricity bill (even though Greta pays it in leiu of rent) is to stop using the dryer. Since we've been back from Ireland and had to use a "dryer" that took 4 hours to make a pair of jeans wearable - we're in the habit of just hanging our clothes up to dry. OK, so I'm also too cheap to fix the dryer we have, but it's all in the name of save up my carbon credits.

Well, in winter it's a bit of a bummer, since you end up drying clothes in the basement instead of on the line, but now with the days heating up, we should be able to have whiter whites and faded colored clothes.
