A shower curtain rod. My HOA doesn't allow clothes lines. My family has a lot of clothes that might shrink, air dried clothes smell better, it's all we used growing up and it saves money. I have a nook on my 2nd level deck between the chimney and the door where I hung a shower curtain rod. My house has woods behind it and this nook hides it from the side. It pays for itself with each use and let's me thumb my nose in a small way at the HOA and actually do something constructive for ecological stewardship. Every self-proclaimed environmentalist (I consider myself a steward and ecologist not an environmentalist) trying to change entire global economics should just try drying their damn clothes with the sun, and push for laws that allow it akin to right to repair. I also don't use a dishwasher. Utter waste of energy and water. And guess what? That pot you're going to boil water in next time doesn't need to be sanitized. Wipe it out with a dish rag and put it away. The boiling water the next time you cook your specialty frufru pasta flown in from Italy will kill any germs.
