YT marked this video "NOT SUITABLE FOR MOST ADVERTISERS". Really YT??? I mean, WTF?!? In this video, I'm showing you a couple of the small investments that I'm making in the homestead that I think will pay us back over the long haul. It's also time to get back into the greenhouse and have some fun. Want to support the channel and not be out of pocket any cash? You can shop through our Amazon link.

Link to super heavy duty clothesline kit: https://amzn.to/2Fqq2uc Quick and easy little project to make our life a little easier. Solar power equipment is expensive and the best way to cut down on cost is to cut down on your power usage. One of the biggest energy hogs in our house is the clothes dryer (average electric dryer uses 3,000 watts of power per hour) so it makes sense to utilize the sun to dry our clothes. I know that this was commonplace in generations past but I don't see too many people hanging their clothes out anymore. For some reason, I get a strange sense of satisfaction out of doing it. Here's the breakdown on the finances of this: 2 loads a day equals roughly 6kwh of power usage. Do that 25 days each month (not out of the ordinary for our family of 4) and that works out to 150kwh of monthly power usage. If you're paying 14 cents per kilowatt it equals $21/month or just over $250/year. Finding little ways to stretch a dollar is important when you're trying to live like this. Sometimes it's the little things that add up. How many or you hang your clothes on the line to dry? Want to support the channel and not be out of pocket any cash?
