I can imagine. I used to have a dryer like the one Ed complains about. 
It took forever to dry the clothes while raising the temperature and 
humidity inside the apartment. Must be nice to have a dryer that 
actually works.

BTW, my comment was intended as a joke. The word "outhouse" refers to a 
very specific type of outbuilding in American English.
