On-line calculators like the one below can be used to estimate cost per load. You input your local electricity/gas rate, drying time, and number of loads. http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/dryers.html Nancy--who posted several messages about line drying at CoHo--can post more specifics about the savings we've had over the last several years. As I recall, the collective savings last year were equal to the annual electric costs for a 2-bedroom unit. > One added benefit of sharing laundry facilities in the common house is more > interaction among residents.

Until recently, it hosted a ping pong table (we switched to foosball). Along the four walls: Narrow: shelving for games/puzzles, free-to-good-home items Long: 3 washers/2 dryers (1 stackable unit), utility sink, small counter and doorway to outside Narrow: drying racks with treadmill in the corner Long: bulletin board with long folding table in front and doorway into common house -- Susan Hyne
