Paul dropped in today to help up install our laundry hoist!!
Was so great!! He brought a ladder that was tall enough for our ceilings and sorted us out with getting it all up and working!!
Making sure all the rope is run through the right pulley at the right points
Threading the dowels in
Some adjustments here and there – just making sure I can easily reach to hang the clothes for the first knot tie-off at the wall.
Perhaps I could even up the dowels haha
Anyway, was super keen so did a load of washing which is on there now drying away – I rushed because I was excited so didn’t arrange the clothes in the most aesthetically pleasing manner – and no, not my knickers dangling there on the end haha.
Its reasonably heavy to hoist up with the wet clothes – but I am not short of a muscle or two. And the whole thing didn’t break so… yay!
It sits so high so nothing is hanging too low to be a pest.
I let it down a little while ago to check how things were going. Happy to report there is evidence of drying!!
Sometimes if a winters day is really sunny, I’ll part dry on the line outside. That will make it quicker to finish off inside. (And lighter to hoist)
Hope your weekend is going well!
Cheers
I love it! I don’t have high enough ceilings for this. I use a folding rack that I set up on my screened porch for some things but I use the dryer the most.
Thanks Jenny! I love using it already! Even did some more washing today! lol
PS tell Jeff his cursive skills are LOOKING GOOD!!! Love your new recipe book!!
Hi Lisa,
Would you share your soap recipe? I’ve been making soap for years, just for family and friends, but I’ve never tried the many techniques you try. I would love to know more about your soap.
I’m afraid I took more notice of your beautiful ceilings than I did your laundry rack, which is very nice also. Once upon a time, quilters hung their quilt frames like that.
haha – I’ve had a few comments re the ceiling !! I guess its so familiar to me now I don’t notice it specifically!!
I’ll send you an email re the soap! Keep an eye out – just sent 🙂
Hi – the email I sent you just bounced back… must have the wrong address!! Can you send me a message so we can connect?? lisadyke1@bigpond.com
We’ll talk soap 🙂
