But, my water goes down the drain and (after treatment), becomes the water supply for the next city downriver.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-44973070953182575732016-09-12T07:09:36.876-07:002016-09-12T07:09:36.876-07:00You are a match for me in my obsession to have lau...You are a match for me in my obsession to have laundry be one place where I minimize my carbon footprint. I do have a washer and a dryer, but I rarely use the dryer for anything but sheets and towels. I dry clothing on outdoor clothes lines in good weather and on racks in bad weather.<br /><br />I have two racks, one a wooden one like yours. The rack I really love is from Ikea. May I recommend the Frost? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40244831/<br /><br />It holds a stunning amount of laundry, is very lightweight, folds very flat, and is remarkably strong and stable due to all those triangles in its engineering.<br /><br />Bonus points: I have a high efficiency washer plus a solar electrical system. My dryer uses propane gas, another reason to use it as little as possible.<br /><br />I love your solution to the problem in Colorado, and reading about someone who shares a similar obsession. Do you also really enjoy doing laundry like I do? I love clothes and textiles, and being able to handle them, and laundry is one chore I do willingly. It's always a happy day for me when I can hang clothes outside and listen to the sounds of the world.
