New Additions

Susan loves to hang clothes outside so when she asked for a clothesline for Christmas I bought her one. A retractable one made the most sense so I looked at products over the Internet and purchased the one I thought would work best considering the information provided. Susan loved it, unfortunately, if we followed the directions, our layout did not leave us with an option for hanging the retractable end of the lines. We discussed the problem with our contractor and he told us that he could make it work and last weekend he came over and put up the clothesline. It is just perfect. Not only can we retract the lines when we are not using them, but the whole unit just lifts off the garage wall so we can bring it inside in the winter.

When we moved into our new house last year, we both decided that we were either going to use all the stuff we kept when we combined our houses or we were going to give it away. We must have at least five birdhouses without anyplace to put them. Our contractor built this post for us and we had him put it right outside the fence in the backyard so we can watch the birds when they take up residence.

The next step will be to paint the other houses so we can add at least two more to this post.
