When we lived in the city I bought a *2-line extractable laundry line. I loved that thing – it gave me up to 98 feet of drying! RancherMan put a nail in a fence post so when I was doing laundry I’d bring out that extractable line & hang it on that nail. The lines pulled all the way to a nearby tree where I’d hook the two lines on the branches.
But when we moved here to our piece of paradise there were no privacy fences, nor any trees in our back yard. So we used a tether-ball pole as the anchor, and placed two decorative cast iron plant hooks on either side of the garage window.
But the tether-ball pole was… I dunno – UGLY! It served the purpose for several years but I wanted something a little more in step with our natural surroundings. It was replaced recently and you know my battle cry: Use Whatcha Got! (Almost all our Homestead Hacks use that battle cry.) Come see what we did.
