Comments on: When Drying Clothes on a Clothesline is Against the Rules http://greenlivingideas.com/topics/simple-living/drying-clothes-clothesline-rules Keeping going green down to Earth Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:05:13 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Vonda http://greenlivingideas.com/topics/simple-living/drying-clothes-clothesline-rules/comment-page-1#comment-1331 Vonda Sun, 27 Dec 2009 04:56:39 +0000 http://greenlivingideas.com/?p=7630#comment-1331 I have mixed feelings about this. I don't want my neighborhood to look trashy, but I do like lowering my electric bill. The answer? I dry my clothes INSIDE my house. I hang the wet clothes on hangers and have a portable wooden drying stand. One of the issues, IMHO, is that so many homeowner's associations only allow 6 foot fences. If they'd allow 8 foot fences, this wouldn't be such an issue. I have mixed feelings about this. I don’t want my neighborhood to look trashy, but I do like lowering my electric bill. The answer?

And to make it worse I live in very sunny Arizona where the home owner associations dictate to the state. We are fined for not only having but using a clothesline. Very steamed!

However, i do think we should try to make efforts to conserve energy and this is one very effective way. I do hang my clothes out on a clothes line but i have the luxury of having a private back yard.
