That's a lovely drying rack. I'm thankful I can pretty much hang laundry outdoors all year, if I work around the rain. The only thing I can think of to add to the winter prep list is the closing of the vents in our crawl space, which not every home has. Thanks for sharing your list.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-56909210890061139932017-10-30T06:22:08.568-07:002017-10-30T06:22:08.568-07:00I've been doing that too.

Looking at the forecast, I'll be washing the blankets so I can line dry them this week. After that, most everything will be on the rack by the woodstove. I put heavy things like towels on the rack before bed and stand by the fire to fold as the fire warms the house early in the morning.Robinhttp://alifeinthewild.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-62810619045645120832017-10-29T18:31:34.786-07:002017-10-29T18:31:34.786-07:00We had a linoleum floor in the farmhouse where I w...We had a linoleum floor in the farmhouse where I was raised, so we set up the clothes rack in the same room as the wood stove.

When they moved into the house they are in, she said there wasn't room for it so I gladly took it off their hands. The dowels are nice and sturdy, not like the little 3/8" ones you see in stores now. I love it too.Lady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-61340845870840103772017-10-29T17:02:05.736-07:002017-10-29T17:02:05.736-07:00Oh my I love your drying rack!
