That's what Ebay is for!

Holy moly, Dan! How do you find all this Ebay and C/L stuff? You need to get another hobby to take up all that spare time like, oh I don't know, collecting and restoring appliances... LOL!

That yard is absolutely fantastic. All that's missing is a hammock and a nice drink to enjoy while reading a good book! Fantastic!

Holy moly, Dan! How do you find all this Ebay and C/L stuff?

I've been an "Ebay Whore" since 1998, so I know how quickly find what I'm looking for.

"You need to get another hobby to take up all that spare time like, oh I don't know, collecting and restoring appliances... LOL!"

I've got so many f***ing hobbies that I run around in circles trying to figure out what to work/fix/blow up next, lol.
 
Nice clothes line

you have. I have this exact clothes line (I purchased through Fingerhut)but unfortunately paid more. I did not know this until recently, but there are laws on the books (depending on where you live) that allows residents to hang out laundry. Oh, nice pictures of your lawn/garden
 
Lovely landscaping

And the fink plamingoes add just the right touch. My OL always had a "spinner" (as she called it) for the 35 years they lived in the 'burbs. Never a problem with it collapsing or tipping from too much payload. Yours looks much bigger than the one she had. Enjoy!
 
"gawd knows money into the yard"

There are probably some questions you don't want the answer to...and this could be one of them. ("You spent HOW MUCH for those FLOWERS?!?" "Er, no, I spent X dollars for A SINGLE flower. But there are 20 of them, which comes to..." [Sound of loud thunk in background, due to faint from sticker shock.])

Although, I'd say that yard is worth it--it's stunning.
 
Your yard looks absolutely beautiful. Who spends all the time keeping the lawn looking that good?

That line looks pretty flimsy compared to what we have here though.

Have a look at the Fixed and Folding head hoists in the link, from the original designer and manufacturer of the rotating hoist. The folding head hoists are removable from the ground so you can put them away when you want to use the yard space.

Unfortunately its all made in China now, but at least the company is still Australian Owned.

We've got two lines, the retracting line outside and the folding frame in the garage.

 
Oh I know how much he spent since I was with him every time he got something. The yard flowers come from Home Depot, Lowes, Steves Nursery here in Lynn and Mahoneys in Winchester Mass. He loves the yard and he loves gardening...so I dont say much when it comes to this hobby of his. He certainly doesnt say much about mine...well he does but well ya know...
 
What type of bush is that in Post 354205-6/2/2009?

Nmassman, can you tell me what type of bush that is in one of your posts. It is the post that pictures both of your vehicles on the side of the house. the flowers appear to be Fuscia colored.
Thanks!
Mark
 
What about Martha? She must have clotheslines and pins. Is most of her stuff made in the states?
 
Saltysam ...that bush on the side of the house are whats called ocean roses. The scent is wonderful. I will ask Scott what the real name of them are but everyone around here calls them that. The name comes from the fact that they grow near the ocean..
Brisnat....my partner is the one that keeps the yard looking like that. I was looking at other clotheslines online and I had one of these before so I figured I would go with what I know. I used to get the clothesines at Sears but they dont sell them anymore.
RPM....I did go to KMart and checked out what Miss Martha would have...and she had nothing!
 
It's Not So Bad

"~I thought about getting a couple of those for the back yard, but decided not to after I saw all the dust that comes from the concrete company next door.

Child, and you are breathing all of that?

Get the flock out of there!"

It's actually a redi-mix company, and most of the dust is from the trucks going in and out all day, their lot is gravel. I don't mind it very much except for having to dust furniture more this time of year.
 
I would love to hang my clothes to dry

but we have birds! I have so many trees near my house (plugging up my %&@#$ drains!) I always find bird droppings everywhere in my backyard - I don't know how I would ever keep them off the laundry!

My mom had an old laundry bag full of old clothespins. I begged her to hold on to them for me when she moved. Did she? Nope - they went right in the trash. The crappy cheap glasses she got at Target (that don't match anything of mine)? Oh, those made it over here wrapped up like they were gold! I swear that woman has messed up piorities!

I suppose if one was really motivated... one could build a "clothes-port", which would be like a carport with a translucent or transparent roof, just over the clothesline, to keep the bird doo and other fallout out, but let the clothes still dry in the warmth of the sun and outdoor breezes.

Of if you have one of those umbrella clotheslines, put a big patio umbrella with as transparent a covering as possible over it.
 
Ronic...now thats what I call a clothesline! But here in the US finding something that nice is kind hard to find...at least I think so. If I had the room for something that huge I would. What I have now is fine. I was lucky that my other half agreed to the clothesline since he said to me before ..." We are not going to look like white trash!"
I said to him after that.." But we are Blanche we are white trash".LOL So when I said to him about the money we would save and how much I love to hang out laundry and the smell of the outdoors then he was for it...go figure..mention saving money then its all OK.
 
clothes pins

The best place that I have found to get vintage clothes pins are at estate sales. I buy them there all of the time I will get the bag of them sometimes just to get ones that I really like and give away the rest most of the time to a friend of mine that leaves hers out on the line and loses them.
 
I got one too!

I bought the exact same clothes line dryer at Lowes. The only different mine has green lines and the plasting parts are green. I bought a stand for it to stand on the deck. We are allowed to have a permament clothes line in our sub-division.

This year at 52 years old I became a House husband by choice (I call it semi-retired). My wife loves it! I use it mainly to hang towels and my yard working clothes out to dry. My wife has never known what it's like to hang out clothes. I grew up in the country and she grew up in the city. Also I'm 8 years older then she. We did not have a clothes dryer until 1968. We had an automatic washing machine but not a dryer. It was a pain in the butt during a rainy spell for my Mom who washed for 5 kids. Sometimes she would load up and go to the local laundromat and dry clothes during the winter. Of course while the clothes were drying I would sit and drool over the Maytag washers there.
