Comments on: The right to hang http://www.alittlegreenereveryday.com/2009/06/right-to-hang.html Some useful information, some anecdotes, some rantings, and some inspiration <br>from my quest to make my family and perhaps the world around me A Little Greener Every Day Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:26:45 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Robin Shreeves http://www.alittlegreenereveryday.com/2009/06/right-to-hang.html/comment-page-1#comment-597 Robin Shreeves Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:30:31 +0000 http://aged.shreeves.net/2009/06/the-right-to-hang.html#comment-597 Pink - way back when my now 20 year old nephew was little, my brother and his wife were told by their homeowner's association that they couldn't have a yellow roof on their play set - it had to be green so it wouldn't stick out. I decided then that I would never move to a place with a homeowner's association.<br /><br />GJK - You can buy a retractable clothes line. That's what we have in the backyard. It's attached to the shed, and there is a hook on a tree that it gets hooked to. When not in use, it can be unhooked and retracts back into its casing. I never bother to unhook it though.

I haven't heard any particular regulations against in here, but just what I know of my neighbors ... I'm guessing it wouldn't be well received. Especially because we live on a hill, with our backyard open to a road behind us and the backside of our house makes for a lovely view that we don't want to mess up for others.<br /><br />Are there clotheslines you can buy that don't stay up permanently? Even if there were, though, they would probably blow away in our wind .... I was kind of hoping when we moved to Iowa that I would be able to line-dry things outside.

I guess the only solution is a right to dry movement. I, for one, love the smell of sheets dried outdoors. My next door neighbor has a clothes line and uses it--what's the big deal? I'm with you on this one. hmmm those same homeowner and condo associations tell people they can't put flags out or wreaths on their front door. I guess the only solution is a right to dry movement.
