amazing new jack stick
perfect laundry lifter
My clothes line has been problematic for my perfectionist husband. It was sagging a lot in the middle, no matter how many times he re-stretched and re-strung it, so he designed me a laundry stick, or as he calls it “the jack-stick”, so there is no sag in the middle. It works beautifully and I am able to hang a whole load of laundry at once. The way the ‘feet’ are positioned and the fact that they are pointed at the bottom lets it tilt with the wind to either side without coming out and it always comes back to center. Yea! Let’s hear it for the perfectionists of the world.
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
Wow Quinn! Where were you when I was hanging clothes out to dry? That looks great!
