David,
That's neat. I've never seen them configured like that.
I like the old "four square" houses in your neighborhood. That type of house has always appealed to me.

Like that 3 or 4
square brick house behind yours. Like my grams was in Midland, and my aunts, but hers had arched window casing brick molds and small keystones.

Very nice setup David
I see you have the aluminum clothesline props like the ones I use, mine were grandmas.
What part of a Pittsburgh are you in?

Hi Sam
I have about 20 props some I had bought 30 years ago when I got married, and I got many more from mom and a neighbor sons of whom I helped wash when I was little gave me his mother's props when she passed away about 15 years ago. I shared some of those with my sister in laws, although they do not hang out as much as I do. If I would have kept all the props I would have over 40. You can get them like this anymore. I also have 9 clothes posts. I use 5 every week I take them in & out so they wont rust away.I also have a milk crate full of old wooden clothes pins that came from all the older people in my family. No one else wanted them.

Better view of clothes line
Here is a picture of my lines yesterday. I took the picture from the upstairs window.

Wow, that is a work of art using all of the props. Everything in order too.
Clotheslines
The first picture is the retractable line I used to use before getting my new "Latvian Clothes Dryer" seen in the second picture.
There used to be a pool shed in this side yard so the end of the retractable line was attached to that.
It had to be propped up with a wood pole in the middle so as not to sag.
Now the pool shed (and the pool) is gone, I have more room for drying clothes.
The "Latvian Clothes Dryer" is from Brabantia and is made in Latvia.
It can hold up to four full loads of laundry easily.
I LOVE the smell of clothes dried outside!

Clothes Line
Here is mine from yesterday. I have had an outdoor Clothes Line at every house I have owned, and always will have one. I hang clothes on the line or the Drying Rack 90+% of the time. I only use the dryer for "emergencies" or when I need towels for company as many do not like the way the towels feel off the line.

Not hanging
my Aussiebum's outside for the neighbors to see. No privacy fence on one side yet.

Just waiting for the pollen to get through doing its thing.
Nothing better than summer clothes washed in Ariel and hung out to dry in the sun.

Pollen
hasn't began yet here. Overnight lows were still in the 30's last week.

Nothing more comforting that the fresh smell of line dried sheets on a sunny day.
The sun is also a bleaching agent so it is sanitizing.
In the 70s, We copied our our neighbor and got a Sears pull out clothes line.
Word of warning when buying a home or renting an apartment: Always write into your contract the necessity of reviewing the HOA rules and signing off your approval as a condition. Also knowing what your renting ahead of time will save you from being around the clothes-line-depraved souls.

We have a clothesline like the the post above and enjoy putting out the laundry in the summertime or when the weather permits it. This spring has been cold and wet in NJ and the line is out, but I can't use it as we get 1 nice day and the rest is cold and wet. We are going to go from cold and wet to hot and dry, and no in between time. Oh well at least we can have a clothesline with no one complaining. Use a clothesline and reduce your carbon footprint I say.
