I've never thought about dryers ...Facsinating! I've never thought about dryers that way. I've thought about the refrigerator compressor (good in the winter, bad in the summer), but you're right -- the dryer is worse. (And with a hose to the outside, it seems like it would be easy to add an inlet....)<br /><br />Something we did give a lot of thought to was GE's then-new (air source) heat pump water heater, which would actually have cooled the air around it. We thought it would be neat if we could have directed that cool air inside in the summer (but how do you turn the flow off and cover/insulate the hole for winter?).<br /><br />I have wanted to get a clothesline going. Maybe I'll get back on that. Shouldn't take longer than, oh, five minutes to dry clothes outside right now.Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327080164247768031noreply@blogger.com
