long ago, they used to have these things called "clothes lines" that many people used.
you would hang your clothes from these ropes and the sun and air would dry them out....all for free!! from what i understand, some people would even use them in the basement during the winter months.
i'm not sure if they still make them any more, and i don't think there are many woman around these days who know how to use them either.
(made a joke...that's all)
Interesting that the State of CT passed a law yesterday that says we all have the right to hang clothes outside (believe it or not). The reason for the law is that many towns, homeowners assoc. and condo assoc. had rules against hanging clothes outside because it is unsightly. The law was made to allow outside clothes drying everywhere in the State to save energy and make clothes last longer. (We must have very few problems in the State if the govt has time for this.)
So according to the State of CT you don't need to make a wood fired dryer just hang them outside.
Oh man, that's why I'd never live anywhere with an association. I have heard of some people with reasonable ones, but most people I've talked to that live in places with those kinds of homeowners associations have nightmare stories to tell.

mga - I added to your rep for the "clothesline definition" I got a good laugh! We used ours all last summer, till they started to freeze on it - Saved some $$$$$$$$$$$ too. All my coveralls, coats, etc, I just hang down next to the Harman boiler, they dry overnight. Anything to keep that dryer off.
