If I am honest with myself, and you, then finding a way to replace it and use a dryer will be attempted first. A laundromat may be our next try.<br /><br />If it is a matter of electricity, and we can no longer afford to pay the electric bill, I can think of a few places in our garage where we could hang a line or two for winter drying. I would also be thankful that the majority of our backyard gets full sun for outside line-drying.swiggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891906293411024469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491356490446449666.post-43851264212112738452011-01-16T08:00:27.014-05:002011-01-16T08:00:27.014-05:00What would you do if you couldn't afford to us...What would you do if you couldn't afford to use your present dryer? Line dry or hanger dry. If there are only two of you I expect you could do that quite easily. In the summer I dry clothes for four outside and in the winter for four inside on a couple of old fashioned airers in the spare bedroom.<br /><br />As for things I didn't buy. I spent some time in India 20+ years ago and was asked if I used coconut oil in my hair. When I said no, it wasn't because I had made a decision not to, or it was a martyr like plan, it was because it had never occurred to me. I suppose it was a cultural thing. My mother didn't, so I didn't. It applies to drying and hair care.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602549347045444341noreply@blogger.com
