Clothesline

I was looking forward to using the clothesline to hang dry my clothes. It saves energy, the clothes smell great afterward, and it just looks like a very home like thing to be doing on the weekends. One problem - the hedge underneath it was neglected by the previous owner and is overgrown to the point where you can't hang the clothes above it.

So, out I go to buy a ladder (ladders are expensive!! What do they build them out of - titanium?) and some shears and go hacking away at the hedge.

Don't you like the black socks and great visor? Fashion setter!

Halfway to being done, I ask Deb to hang a few clothes to test how much I need to cut the hedge down to. We had just done a wash and I was excited to see how the clothes work out... but lo and behold after putting a few wet clothes, the clothesline gives way and breaks.

sigh - the joys of a homeowner.
