Clothes Lines
| Wed, 06-07-2006 - 3:24pm |
I really like the idea of line drying all of our clothes (or at least alot of them) but I'm stuck on the logistics.
1.We live in a nice neighborhood with deed restrictions. The clothesline can't be obvious ` especially from the front of the house. We have a privacy fence so this shouldn't be *too* big of a deal.
2. We have large windows across the back of the house and I don't want the line to be painfully obvious.
3. We have a swingset on one side of the backyard and a trampoline on the other side. We do have a small "side" yard but it doesn't get sunlight (tree cover).
4. We're not very "handy"/DIY types. I need something that's pretty easy to install and maintain.
5. I don't want to spend a fortune on this.
Ideas, advice? TIA!

I bought a plain rope and some clothes pins and hung it in my back yard from the swingset to our only tree. While I don;t like the look sof it I figure I can take it down if I have to.(if people are coming over or a back yard party). I like when I look outside it reminds me I am saving money....even tho I didnt intend to be without gas...LOL...
Our yard is VERY shaded and i pu out some clothes at 8:30 and they were dry by 11am. If I time it right I should be able to do at least 3 loads a day. and as a plus my kids can play in the back yard as I hang thigns and they are helping me too and earing money for it. (50 cents each...they think its millions..LOL they are saving for disney world...LOL)
You could maybe use a clothes umbrella....they have one at walmart but were all out when I got a chance to buy one...LOL
