Now that we officially don't have neighbors, I was biting at the bits to have my very own clothesline. We talked about metal posts versus wood, mounted retractable versus umbrella style, you name it! In the end, we really liked the look of the wood and it was sturdy as all get out, at least this video by Jon Peters made it look pretty impressive. I stumbled on the video (found at the very bottom of this post), which provides a fantastic tutorial on how to build your own clothesline. We followed the directions and here's the outcome....
I couldn't wait to try it out, this photo was taken before I even put the stain on! Here's a photo with the stain, proudly displaying the clothespin apron I threw together. I wish I could say I had a pattern for you on this apron, but I don't. I totally winged it. (winged, wung? whatever, you get it)
The clothesline has become a place where the kids know they can find me and have quiet one on one talks. It's become our bonding place where the chickens come watch the action and the dog lays in the shade keeping me company. It's everything I imagined it to be. Oh, and it dries our laundry for free, delivering a crisp, fresh smelling product every time without fail!
