With spring being here now and the sky being less overcast and more sunny. I figured it was the perfect time to put in a clothesline. I’ve been talking about putting in a clothesline since we moved into this place but had never gotten around to it… Until today.
I picked up some two eye screws at .38 cents each ($0.76), 20 feet of nylon for at .23 cents a foot ($4.60), and 36 clothes pins for $3.99.
The line hangs between the two outer posts of the trellis that is over the back patio. All I had two to was drill two holes, screw the eye-screws in, and then tie the rope between them. (Two-half hitches, if you were wondering… Thanks, Boy Scouts!) It took about five minutes to put up.
Total cost: $9.35. The cheapest clotheslines I saw for sale at the hardware store was $19.99, and that still required you to mount it.
