Comforter drying rack
Late April is the perfect
time to slip in some extra laundry days. And Wednesday was a
perfect late April drying day, with lots of sun and some gentle breezes
to blow the sheets dry.
I always come up upon a
problem in my washing campaign at this time of year, though. I
like to wash some heavy things like comforters and winter coats right
around now, but these items are too big to fit through the
wringer. And, un-wrung, the wet items are too heavy for me to
carry to the line and too heavy for the line to hold up. But I
figured out last year that if I just wash one bulky item per day, I can
drape it over the wringer washer, flip it over once and squeeze out some
of the water collecting in the bottom edges, and have a clean, dry
comforter in less than 24 hours. That's right --- a wringer washer
does double duty as a drying rack!

Charity --- I think you're more likely to find parts the way you do for old cars. Maybe not literally at the junk yard, but by finding someone with a broken wringer washer that has pieces that fit yours.
When ours needs fixing, Mark generally just makes the parts out of odds and ends he finds in the barn.
