Good news! I enstalled our three new retractable 40 ft. clothes line, complete with 12 soft touch clothes pins.
Bad news! We need line longer than 40 feet.
Good news! One can purchse retractable clothes line longer than 40 ft.
Bad news! It's $22.99, plus shipping. (The 40 ft. one was $15.99.)
All this to hang my laundry outside.
Notes to self: Measure first. Install only one of something and test it's use before installing several of something and then testing their use. Don't assume that since retractable clothes line was previously used in said location, that it was used correctly.
