They have a fresh scent that simply can’t be compared to anything else. There’s something to be said about the look and feel of clothes dried on the line, too. It’s eco-friendly and even helps your clothes last longer – did you know that the dryer takes a little bit of your clothing each time you use it? Dryer lint, after all, has to come from somewhere. You can soak in vitamin D and even get the whole family involved in the chore. Hanging clothes on the line is excellent exercise and boosts your health in a number of ways. Not only will you save a ton of money on your electricity bills (a dryer costs up to $1500 per year to run!) but you’ll also save a ton of cash on bleach and dryer sheets. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth your time to install a clothesline, whether permanent or impermanent, let me tell you – it really is.Įven if you’re not trying to live the homestead life like us, using a clothesline is advantageous for several reasons.

Note that some of this dirt will be used later to back fill around the well. We recommend shoveling the dirt out into a wheelbarrow or onto a tarp to make it easier to transport later. We also recommend digging 2’ wider on each side and 1’ longer than the needed projection. Consider this as well as how far down the window will extend, you will want to dig approximately 19” deeper that the bottom of the window. Some egress codes have specific requirements for the size of the well that is needed to pass.
