The laundry is piling up, so I think I am going to be forced to used the electric dryer. I had thought about at least doing loads of handwash articles and hanging them up inside, but the humidity is too high. I would just be having to wash them again because of the odor that usually follows from trying to dry clothes in a damp basement, during a very humid, rainy period. Guess I will have to find some offsets elsewhere.
