How blessed you are to have a line! I would love to be able to get out and hang clothes, but no clothes line. And no room to put one up either. DEFINATELY something that we are going to do at our new house (and I just love thinking about the girls along with me helping). I emailed you but haven't heard back. Get back to me when you get a chance! =^)
Isn't the weather great? I hung out a load of laundry yesterday, too, on our rigged up clothesline. When the weather gets a bit better, my stepdad is going to help us make a REAL clothesline, with more than ONE line! LOL
Did your clothes smell fresh when you took them down? Mine smelled like a pond...? It is either the creek out back or the manure being spread around the fields. In the summer, there isn't this funky smell!
Oh, well! Hanging laundry outside is so invigorating!! :D
There isn't a line already at the new house-but it is always one of the first of Matts projects. I even want him to make a lower line so Corynn can help with socks and washclothes and stuff. I think that would be both FUN for her AND helpful. What lines do you prefer? I think I like the T form (as in the picture). I don't like the square ones AT ALL and the pully ones don't hold as much. That is just what I am LEANING towards, anyway.
Michelle~Rigged up clotheslines dried our clothes for the first two years of our married life! Matt put a pully one from our deck to a tree! The first thing I put on, if the wind blew any little bit, would slam into the bark of the tree! :-)
My clothes smelled fresh-but not SUNSHINE fresh. When it is a HOT day with lots of sun, they smell MUCH better than when they dry slowly. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Our first home was on a dairy farm and manure was spread ALL surrounding our house...but it didn't affect the clothes at all really.
Today will be my inaugural clothes-hanging of this spring. We're heading off to the laundromat soon, and will come home with wet clothes for the line!
A smaller clothesline for Corynn's a neat idea. Millie usually precariously stands on her slide to reach the clothesline, which has proven completely ineffective. (When we move to a place where we can do more than string nylon rope from the garage to the tree, I'll steal your idea, because you have so many good ideas, you surely won't miss just one.)
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to get a clothesline set up here! I absolutely LOVE hanging clothes out!
Do you have a clothesline at your new house?

Anxiously awaiting the news of the birth of your little guy! ~Jen
