always, except since moving into our current house, the line is right down the back and in the pool fence. so i have only hung my sheets on it. I use air dryers in that are always up in my family room and drive me INSANE!! but its only pure laziness so i dont have to walk right down the back and open a gate to get to the clothes line.. and poor poverty that has stopped me buying a new one and putting it in a better spot. I've never owned a dryer, even when i lived in Canberra i would be hanging washing out and it would freeze on the line.
