but hopefully my community allows it. My grandmother had a nice little set up...a platform with stairs to get to the clothes line. We used to use it as a fort and she'd laugh while giving us heck for knocking down the laundry. If my community doesn't allow it, I'll set up something inside. I use to have a retractable 4 line clothes line in my old laundry room that had a window facing west where the winds would blow in and dry my laundry. My current 'laundry room' is a closet, lol, but I'll figure something out. I just moved in at the end of March and had to finish school and exams, so just have a month or 2 to get things set up before school starts again.

I agree it's silly that clothes lines are forbidden in places. I can't see that being true in my community though - it's a very 'green' community with many green initiatives. The dumbest thing ever - my parents have a lake lot that forbids clotheslines. We have to dry our towels and swimsuits on the backs of chairs. Seriously. It's a lake.
