Americans, do you use wash lines at all? Or only tumble driers?

I understand people who live in apartments and when the weather is crazy not using washing lines, but what about the rest?

When I was growing up, every back yard had a hills hoist

Brand new one. Thing of beauty that! 🥲

Invented by a guy name Hill 🤓
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The Hills Hoist is an iconic Australian height-adjustable rotary clothesline, invented by Lance Hill in 1945. Known for its durability, it features galvanised steel construction and a wind-up mechanism, allowing large laundry loads to rotate for efficient drying. It is a staple of suburban Australian backyards and often symbolizes Australian heritage.

I didn’t know any of this. Thank you, interesting.
