3. Let us know what you think of it when you take the clothes down. |
|
Spring/Summer/Fall = dry and fresh.
Winter = frozen stiff as a board.

18. Frozen jeans were my favorite. |
|
The clothesline was suspended from a second floor window and trying to haul in frozen jeans was a challenge.

24. I used to get a kick out of stacking pants in the corner of the bathroom. |

You take them outside in really freezing weather and you can see the steam come off them.

20. When you take down clothes that are too 'crispy' |
|
throw them in the dryer w/2 tennis balls and set the dryer to 'air dry' for 3-5 minutes.
It works wonders!
