For a long time I felt like keeping on top of the laundry was a constant struggle because we would generate a new porch-load of wets almost as fast as it took the load on the porch lines to dry. If we had one or two days of rain, or were too busy to swap the loads, we'd get behind and it would take a few days to catch back up. Finally I bought more clothesline and doubled the amount of hanging space on the porch. Now we have plenty of margin - but why didn't I try this years ago? The extra hooks were out there the whole time. At least it only took me a few months with our tiny washing machine to realize that I could collect several wet loads in one laundry basket and hang them all up on the porch in one big batch, instead of waiting for the first load to be hung up before starting the next one in the washer.
