Solar Powered Laundry Dryer



The weather has finally been warm enough to fire up the old solar powered laundry dryer that I use in the warmer weather.
Our place came with a big electric plug for the motor-driven laundry dryer, so I'm glad to be able to lighten the electricity usage.
Some things are a little stiff if they dry on the line, so I sometimes put the things in the electric dryer for a few minutes to get them a little hot and pliable, then I hang them on the line and that seems to really make a difference in the feel of the cloth. Some things go directly to the line without going in the dryer, like these sheets and pillow cases. They'll dry pretty quickly with the warm, gentle breeze we have today.
