First, that is a beautiful homage to your mom. I'm so glad my husband bought a small house instead of a condo! We are really blessed to have the freedom to hang our clothes outside. Best regards, Mrs. King

I wish to post in honor of my mother, who was a supreme laundry hanger. My parents bought a home in 1950, when I was one year old. We lived on the second floor, with an unfinished attic above us. The first floor was occupied by my aunt, uncle and later, their two children. There was no basement and there was no facility for a dryer. My mother did her laundry on a wringer washer in our bathroom and rinsed out the clothes in the bathtub. For hanging, she used the attic, which was strung with lines from front to back. In the summer, she would used a clothesline that spanned from the window of our enclosed porch to the garage at the back of the yard. The clothesline was on a pulley and she bravely reached out from the second floor window to hang and retreive her laundry.

I have a line in my backyard and lines in my basement. Is this for everyone? I'm not sure what all the people who live in condominiums will do.

Thank you.
