Laundry time!

This weekend we have to do laundry...

That means carrying all our dirty clothes, detergent, and quarters down a few flights of stairs to the laundry facility in our complex.

We don't use cash much, and so we have to conserve our quarters as much as possible. So whe the washer and dryer each cost $1.25, we try to save a little money by not electrically drying our lighter clothes.

Typically, we pay to dry our sheets, towels, jeans, and any dirty coats. These things get to use the highest heat setting and so we get the most for our quarters. Everything else we trek back up to our apartment and drape on a folding drying rack that is stored under our bed.

Usually, though, we have too many wet clothes for that one drying rack and we end up hanging the clothes on hangers in the shower or along the bedframe or the back of the coach or the towel rack or... Basically, there are clothes EVERYWHERE.

While our main motivation is the moolah, we also end up helping the environment, right?

Yep! Saving the environment, one load of laundry not-dried at a time!
