Well, if you have a electric cloths dryer this simple DIY project can help you to lower your heating bills every time you do a load of laundry and it also humidifies your place as well. Hold on to your hard earned cash instead of giving it to the rich power company. Warning: I am sorry to say this project can only be used with an electric dryer, not gas.

Put screen on the inside of the lid to cover the holes so no lent can escape.
My gosh, the fainting cracks me up everytime . 🤣🤣
I am so thankful for this video. I vent my electric dryer thru the wall and had a makeshift plastic screen contraption on the outside into my patio area. It would knock down the lint, but had to sweep lint up after every dryer use. Based on your video, I made a replica of your design, painted it to match the trim and it looks great. Now the water grabs the lint and since it's already outside, I don't worry about humidity, dust particles, and having to sweep anymore. I guess I'll toss the water once a week....but love the idea. Thank you!! p.s. the air exhaust thru the top holes flows out nicely if anyone has a concern.
Thanks Missouri Wind and Solar!
I didn't think I'd like this but when you fell back before it started I liked it!
Great. Thank you. Took me 20 minutes to do.
Another winter heating tip: After you bake dinner in the oven, leave the oven door open to vent the heat into your home until it cools down.
Good idea
Unless you have an oven whose inside is vented to the outside the heat will make its way into the air in your home whether or not you open the door. It will just be quicker with the door open.
Moist air not good
I've been doing that since I was a child. I thought my grandma & I had watch the cheese melt on the toast!
Growing up dirt poor with no heating oil and absolutely no heat in the house during Pennsylvania winters, I’ve turned the oven on and just sat in front of it with the door open to try and get warm. Do not do this over night because of fire hazards but I have certainly done it for a few hours. Another tip, open you sink cubbies doors to help keep your pipes from freezing
Be prepared for a lot of moisture in the house
Very inventive way to recapture heat you already paying for! Neat job too!
I can't imagine this is even worth the effort.
@@breastmeatonly It helps if you live in an apartment with no place for a dryer hookup.
Cool idea
Good idea! I bet you could come up with a way to use the lint lol.
Lint makes a great fire starter.
It's great for tossing out to the birds like when you clean your hair brush. There's a great recipe for making modeling clay, or play dough type stuff.
So is the water just to collect the lint? After all, most of the moisture comes from the clothes.
PS: Subscribed. Your videos are short, to the point, and useful!! Thank you Sir!
Nice work.
ih ave one with two lids one with drilled holes around edge of lid and ine 90 degree 1" pvc pipe for directional air flow
I used to do something similar with an old pantyhose leg and the dryer was in the cellar. I have a gas dryer now so I just vent outside and keep it lint free.
Thumbs up ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE
Very nice !
LOL, I mean really dead 💀. Like pushing up daisies dead.
Me: 💀
bur for the holes use a mesh screen so the other 'particles' don't cover everything else in the house.
I think that's what he's got the water in the bucket for. It's the same water-based filtration idea as a rainbow vacuum / steam cleaner.
You smahty!
Thank you.
Life saver
How often do u have to empty bucket?
Don't do this if you have a gas
I just purchased a New DLEX5000W Dryer. It does not like my long Vent Tubing up the wall about 8 feet to exit out of my basement. My older LG Dryer work just fine... Has anyone used this method with 5 Gallon Bucket on a LG, is it working OK? Does the Water catch everything? I have seen this method used on Wet / Dry Vac's to sand Drywall to keep dust from going all over the place. This looks like this would work for the Dryer as well. Appreciate you comments.
Lower it even more: use a metal bucket instead!
How bout lint trap ring for the holes?
The contraption is designed to catch the lint in the water.
Running my dryer makes my electric bill go higher and if you're using the dryer to heat your home or a room that's going to make your electric bill go up I dry them first out outside then throw them in the dryer to fluff them up
I thinks it's meant more as a secondary option to recover the heat already being output, rather than a primary way to heat the room. Line drying is much cheaper, and I like the stiffer feeling it gives to jeans. Not as nice for towels, though. :)
where did you get the Quick Connect for the dryer does Home Depot does not have them Ace does not have a meter I've not tried it Lowe's
Hello, I had to buy it on line from amazon. Here is a affiliate link if you are interested. amzn.to/2gO22Rh I hope that helps and thank you for the question, Lonny
I bought the exact same "Original Dryer Dock" on Amazon for approx $8.00.
Ace Hardware has them too

"This will humidify your room." Which is something you don't want in winter.
Especially since the inside humidity is 5%. Who would want to humidify their house in the winter?....lol
It matters where you dryer is located. Too much humidity will damage walls & floors.
