I can remember my grandfather's long johns frozen stiff, standing beside the wood stove in the dining room to thaw out enough to lay over the folding wooden clothes rack. Now I've dated myself....Sharon in SW Ontario Canada Don't worry about it, Sharon! I share those memories. (Well, not of your grandfather's long johns, but you get the idea. g) Katherine |

As Els said
...Still hanging my sheets out is great... That is the way I feel, and just hung out my wash, on a gorgeous July day. However, I need to vent on two things about laundry, so listen, sisters: We had a Kenmore washer for 24 years, so when it was time to get a new one, Sears was our choice, and we bought another Kenmore. I hate it. When we were discussing its features with the saleslady ("associate" as they are called nowadays; in this case I abbreviate it ass.) we asked if the washer had a lint filter. She assured us there was a built-in filter. What a lie! First time the machine was serviced, the repairman told and showed us the 'lint filter' -- four little holes in the drum under the agitator. This 'Lintmore' machine pumps 80% of the lint right back into the wash water and onto my clothes. The real filter that used to catch the lint was replaced by those 4 holes, "to improve economy" said the repairman. Supposedly a dryer is supposed to remove lint, and most often the appliances are sold in washer-dryer pairs. We don't use a clothes dryer because I have always liked the fresh air. I refuse to believe I am the only one in the USA using clotheslines and getting 'linted' on everything I wash. I gave up on Consumer Reports magazine because they didn't tell the truth about lint filters. The other vent is the clothesline itself. Years ago I won the 'beef of the week' when I wrote to a local newspaper "though technology has put a man on the moon, and even let Sally Ride, my clothesline still stretches and sags..." Got it off my mind. Any advice?

To keep your clothes line from sagging, use a non-stretch clothes line
material such as Dacron, Kevlar or stainless steel. All rather expensive, but putting a man on the moon was not cheap either. : ) Aaron "Tuulia" wrote in message ...

Got it off my mind. Any advice? Tuulia Tuulia, Washlines do tend to sag a little bit, but I use the connecter with the two little wheels. I put these between heavy items so the line comes together again. Must be said I have a very high and very long washline, so a little bit of a sag does not matter to much. Consumers reports is a great institution, why not write them about your observation. I find them most of the time right on the mark. While I was taking in the wash yesterday.....a roufus humming bird landed on the line and sat there while I pulled in the wash. Love these little gifts.... Our hummers are nearly ready to leave on their trek down to Mexico. The male birds have left already, but the young and female birds are still here. They often come and bath in the sprinkler while I am watering the garden. They may be small but certainly are birds with a great character.....(spelling). -- delete doba to email me.....:=)) |
