...when the dryer has been out for days and there's no clothesline???
This is what we do...
Each load gets spread out all over the family room (and sometimes on the kitchen table) to dry. The family room fan runs and speeds the process up a bit. It really isn't too bad... unless, of course, we want to use the family room to do something together as a family or the kitchen table to eat a meal together. The good part is we have to keep up with the laundry, or things don't get dry in time.
This is the second time our dryer has gone out this year. The last time it was for 10 days. This time it's only been five days! The repairman had a part on his truck that will hopefully keep our dryer functional until the new part arrives next week.
It's been a tad challenging and somewhat humorous. I'm convinced, though, that I'd rather it be the dryer that goes out than the washer. Even with our mountains of laundry, it's still manageable.

Thank you, Lord, for the perks in my life. So many families never even have a dryer! May I be grateful for what You allow me to have, and may I see humor and blessings even in the challenges.

It's very "retro" of you. and inventive. Making memories!
Hangers in doorways work well for us when our line is not able to be used. Just a thought.
Definately helps me be humble, when I start to grumble about my laundry line, to think that some don't even have that!
Blessings! And prayers that things will be fixed soon. :0)
Thank you for making me really appreciate the sound of my dryer! ;)
You are right, there are so many who don't even have a HOME, much less a washing machine and dryer...
But I do hope yours will get fixed soon!
Wow, makes me glad our old home came with a clothesline that ain't about to go anywhere. (Now, before you perfectionist Ferrills get all upset over my lack of grammar...it was just in fun!)
Makes one appreciate modern appliances! I'm glad y'all can be cheerful in the face of such adversities. :-)Of course you're welcome to come use mine too...
oh MY !!This will be one of the times your kids remember Forever..
Hope you see your family again soon,

Back in the late 90s, while we were on the mission field in Honduras, we survived Hurricane Mitch. It is amazing how we can make do when we have to. We were 30 days without water and electricity. Hope things are getting better for you.
Blessings from Costa Rica
