Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - Laundry Line

Well, for most of us it's getting warm enough to hang clothes on the line.  I've never had a real clothes line, but I've made due.  And I encourage you all to do the same.  It doesn't have to cost much at all to set one up.  My first clothes line was a plastic coated cable with two hooks on the ends that we bought to tie our dog up when we take him camping.  I just wrapped the ends around two trees and presto! a clothes line!  Currently, I am using a 30 foot piece of parachut cord (my husband and his family own and run a military surplus store, so I get all sorts of incredibly useful stuff) tied to a post that holds up the bird house and a post on our fence.  Remember that whatever you are using to tie your line to must be quite sturdy and the line pulled taught!  Wet laundry is HEAVY!  Look around your yard, garage, workshed or where ever and see if you don't already have everything you need for your own clothes line.

Happy Trails!
