Clothes line Update
I finished my movable clothesline. I used buckets. I know the tires will work for the clothes line because I’ve used that idea for a movable volleyball net for the kids before. The buckets didn’t work though.
The buckets fell over with the weight of wet clothes on them. Fortunately missing my daughter who was standing nearby. I solved the problem by digging a hole the size of the buckets and placing the buckets in them. It will be a little harder to move, but I wouldn’t need the clotheslines moved more than 3x a year or so. I was thinking that clothes line poles that are hidden within a tree or tall bush would work and then the line could be removed when the area where a clothes line is has a duel purpose.
Surprisingly, my girls (12 & 9 years old), are enjoying using the clothesline. Not surprising, my son (20 years old) who lives here, isn’t interested in using the clothesline. When it’s convenient for me, I’ll do it for him. I’d rather spend my time hanging up clothes to save money instead of spending my time working extra hours to pay for the gas and electric needed to run the dryer.
We are already hitting 100+ degrees and the girls are impressed how fast everything dries. I had forgotten how good everything smells when dried outdoors.
My next project is getting my homemade window evaporative cooler to work better.
