We grew up with it and using it 50+ years later. When we have outside a bad weather then there are ropes inside, in the drafty attic.

I'd like to try it at our house....just as an experiment. But my family would probably think I was crazy since we had a big laundry room with washers and dryers.

My grandmother was hanging her clothes until she was at least 85.
