The wood drying rack we set up as needed in the master bedroom for delicates was no longer enough, so Santa brought us another one like it. We've been hanging shirts and pants to dry right on their hangers and perching them on the molding above the closet. Everything has dried just fine, except the old, thin towels which become like cardboard. The newer, fluffy towels are soft after air-drying. We noticed a little bit of added humidity in the bedroom, which was very welcome in the cold, dry months. We may move the drying clothes to a bathroom or the kitchen or possibly outside if the humidity becomes bothersome as the weather gets warmer.
This updated chart shows our natural gas use (in Therms) for heating over the same period.
