Do you have washing lines in the US?

So, you can hang your laundry anywhere in the house? Doesn't the floor get wet?

We've a new washing machine and things come out almost dry already, so there's never any dripping. But to answer your earlier question, the inside line will be going in the bathroom.

To be honest, if stuff is coming out dripping wet from a washing machine, it's probably time to buy a new one!

I don't mean dripping wet, but ..., there's still some water in the clothes.

So hot here right now things are dry before you can hang them on the line.

Miss Chicken stole my thunder! I was gonna say about rotary lines, an Aussie invention, the Hills hoist, and all that. I'm sad now.

My big concern is that environmentalists are always on about energy consumption, and OTOH here are people forced to use dryers because they aren't allowed to have a line, and the power consumption of them can be a bitch.

How warm is it where you are, Australis? Here is Hobart it is only in the low 30s (about 85F), but that is rather warm for November.

My sister lives in Adelaide and they reached 43C (109F) yesterday.

Tasmania has just had its wettest winter ever and with it followed considerable spring growth. If we get too much hot, dry weather we are likely to have the worst fore conidtions for more than 40 years.

NSW Central Coast, temp reached 41 C today. But really dry, and then it turned really humid. Some storms have gone through, lots of lightning and thunder but only a little rain. Blah.

Where we are, fire isn't a real risk, it's very suburban, but there's bush across the highway, rail line, and creek, that we have on 3 sides, and it's getting dryer.
