Out to Dry - 21/365

I first posted about my line drying back in April when I was using the umbrella hole in the patio table for the laundry line.  Turns out it's just too windy here for that to work well for me, so Jason screwed down a handy dandy brace on the corner of the upper deck to hold the cloths line through any kind of winds!  He attempted to dig a hole to put it in the ground, but since we live on a giant rock it was just more trouble than it was worth.  Plus this works out better anyway since it's upstairs, thus making it easier to put dry clothes away and I don't have to fool with putting shoes on to get to the line.  Since it's in the outer corner of the deck, and it's collapsible and removable, there is no issue with it getting in the way when not in use ( or even when in use, for that matter).

Spring Breeze Scent!

We've been working on saving energy and money lately and spring is here, so what better way than air drying laundry old school style! This set up is nice since it doesn't take up space in the yard and it can be easily removed and replaced with the table umbrella once laundry day is done.  Plus, the table doubles for instant folding space. Since it's just the two of us here, laundry gets done once a week so the portable laundry line can be put up Monday morning and put away with the clothes Monday afternoon.  Perfect!

If you want one of these bad boys you can get one here.

Update: Due to the constant winds we seem to have here, this idea, good in concept, didn't work as good on very windy days.  The wind was too much and knocked the entire table over.  So now we'll be installing the clothesline in the ground.  It's great for gently breezy days though!
