With all the clothesline gabble around here you may be surprised to hear we have a dryer and have even used it from time to time. ;) We had a rainy spell here this week and when we went to use the dryer to finish up a load we had had hanging, it wasn't working.

He even manufactured a part for our old washer out of an annealed clotheshanger once. I was so proud. sniff.
