You'll love it!!!! I first got my 'Amish-type' clothes line when we moved to VT in 2001. And when I had to move back to TN in 2009 I brought my pulley and essentials for the clothes line with me; and have continued to use this kind of set up. GREAT to just go out on the back deck and hang out clothes etc. Still miss VT; but have my memories and clothes line!!!! :)
