So I'm too short to reach the clothesline at our new house. Even in 6" platform boots I can't bloody reach it properly. Its so frustrating not being able to hang my own washing. :mad:

Hello; Kinda reminds me of my uncle Henry. Back in the hills of Virginia he had a small farm. On the farm was a dirt floor barn. Uncle henry got a new mule which was taller than his other mules.
So one day we see Uncle Henry on a stool cutting away the bottom of the wooden beam that spanned the barn entrance. My dad asked about what he was doing. Henry told us the tall new mule's ears kept hitting the beam so he was cutting out a notch. My dad said "Henry why don't you just dig out the dirt floor?"
Henry replied. "You idgit it's his ears that's the problem not his feet."


Why don't you string another line a bit lower?

Speaking of height and equines: we used to have a horse named Bert who was nearly 50 years old (at a stable I volunteered at)
His father was a very tall horse, but his mother was a short horse, to successfully breed them they had to make a hill for the mare to stand on lol

Its part of our tenancy agreement that we "use the facilities supplied" and don't "use makeshift items such as clotheslines, fire pits etc" in other words, anything that would be helpful will cause us to be kicked out because that's just my luck lol

Step ladder ?
Click to expand...
I tried that. When I'm in my boots on a step ladder I can reach. Problems is the yard isn't level and slopes down where the line is, and my boots are rather chunky which makes it hard to balance on the step ladder.
My mate said she would buy me a taller step ladder so I don't have to have my boots on while hanging washing. Problem is she hasn't brought it yet. :headshake
