ALL STRUNG UP

One of the genes I got from my mom was the "hanging out clothes" gene! Nothing is quite as nice as line-dried sheets...they haven't been able to chemically reproduce that fresh air cotton smell, try as they might.
So the problem was that we didn't have a place to string out a line unless we put some posts in the ground, poured concrete, etc. I saw this clothesline on the internet from a company called "Hayneedle." Stupid name but seemingly clever device. (Fabrique in Chine of course)

What I needed was 86.5" of wall space in order to install the nifty 70' of clothesline on a folding frame. So I picked the spot: a. I had some concrete, b. close to the laundry room as I could get, c. not directly under the big trees. We decided the smaller window in the great room would work.


It folds down out of the way when not in use. You just grab it and rotate it up until the struts click into place when you feel the urge to hang out something.
It seems fairly sturdy and we were able to assemble & install the whole thing in about 30 minutes.
Yes, "I feel like a queen!"
