Safer Drying

When we moved into this place the dryer was vented, with this water lint catcher thing, into the water heater closet. We have a gas water heater. :-(

I opted not to use the dryer and asked hubby to get me a big wooden drying rack.  I've been using it for almost 3 years.

Our oldest son has a 2nd job and has to wash his uniform. He can't wait 24 hours or so for it to dry.  So, I pulled the hose out and it is just long enough for the lint catcher thing to sit on top of the dryer.

Its messy but we can dry clothes faster and it helps heat the place a little.  Come this summer we wont be using the dryer. :-)
