    That disappointment was for the better!!! This one is so much nicer. That other landlord was something else; if she pulled that during the negotiations who knows what she would have been like in the future. Plus, your real estate agent was totally worth it; he looked like he walked you through everything. In another person's video they mentioned they are expensive but it seems worth it to me.

      ACtually my family has 7 people in it and we always wash out clothes and hang them up to dry except for our blankets and sheets bc they're too thick. In the summer, my mom would wash all of our clothes and we would it outside in (obv with a protector so bugs can't get in) and it'll dry in a few hours. Around late afternoon we would take it inside and fold it. In the winter we would hang it inside where it would take it longer time to dry but it's still convenient bc we just grab it whenever we need it lol
