washing lines

 My pet hate with washing lines is that I seem to be taller then them. Not by much, but you don't need much to be garroted by the lines, get your hair tangled in the pegs and dong your head on the bar. 

This washing line belongs to a friend of mine and, since I have passionately disliked several washing lines in past jobs, I thought I might show you this absolutely genius one. First good point, it is under cover to prevent rain and dew issues. Second good point, it does NOT bump your head or tangle you hair because it is height adjustable. 
This clever little handle winds the ropes up so the clothes line goes up or down when desired
The other genius thing about this clothes line is that when you have hung out the washing you can wind it all the way to the roof so it is out of the way and the dog can't pull things off the line. 
 The only slightly annoying thing is that it swings about a bit while you are trying to hang out the clothes. Also the ropes have been known to fray through.
