Project Information
We all know the rule, "Happy Wife = Happy Life"...
While Debbie and I are not Married, the Rule none the less applies… and besides, I don't mind helping out with Laundry at all, and a Clothesline is a darned useful thing!
First, the existing posts on our small deck had to be 'extended' or 'made taller'...
Did that by simply cutting more 4"x4" post material, and fashioning a sort of "Saddle" to fit over the old ones , using 2"x4" and Carriage Bolts (Pressure Treated Lumber was used through-out)...
After trimming the top rail, the Post extensions were attached…
Then a couple of Line holding brackets were made and Line was strung…
Lastly, a small Wooden Lanyard was made to take up the extra clothes line and to re-adjust it if necessary…
Before anyone asks, there are no plans to make Clothes Pins! I already bought a fresh bagful…
