| JanetT: | You'd be surprised how hard it is to get some people to install a clothesline. :-) |

| JHen: | The dogs ate my clothes pins. |

| walk: | For a month's worth of CT electric bills, you could buy them their own set plus another for real use.
How hard can it be? Length of rope, 2 knots! |

Something to tie the rope to? We're not in a forest here. |

| walk: | "Something to tie the rope to"
We started with a tree to the house arrangement that worked fine until I cut the tree down because it was shading the garden too much. We also have an umbrella type in the middle of the back yard that works fine, except the bottom bit is starting to corrode so much that it hard to pull it out. Now for the times when the wash is small (normal times these days) or the ground is snow-covered/frozen, we have a single line retractable that extends across the back porch about 20'. Things dry almost before the hanging is finished. |

Sounds like something that would work here (deck is 16' wide) but not very aesthetic. |

| walk: | It reels in by the back door, goes out to a hook on the window frame, all facing south with a dark wall behind. Really nice in the spring, an oven in the summer. |

| PBricker: | Jim, you seem to be competing with my students for the "lamest excuse" prize. |

| JHen: | Yes, but I really do have the voracious dogs. The list of stuff they have swallowed includes socks, sponges, plastic bags, popsicle sticks, Christmas decorations, rocks, turtles, fish and Frisbees. Why not clothespins? |
