Even before we were married, my husband has done my laundry. It's a chore he doesn't mind, he says, and I gladly let him do it. I know it's probably not typical, but I'd much rather clean the toilet than fold and put away clothes. I have no idea why I feel that way.
That's why I asked his opinion a few years ago when I had the thought that we should get a clothesline. He was fine with it, so off we went to Ace Hardware to buy a clothesline. We found an umbrella one that we (I mean, he) can put up when he needs it and take down when he's done. (Yes, I do realize how lucky I am.)
We paid less than $40 for the clothesline, and I swear we saved that much in our electric bill the first summer we used it. However, we recently discovered that there was an issue with the outlet that our dryer was connected to that burned up the cord. We got it fixed, but the electric bill is still giving me fits. To save money, I hope that the weather this spring and summer is warm enough that we can continue to use the clothesline yet cool enough that our air conditioner isn't running nonstop.
