A year ago, or so, I pulled the clothesline main metal frame out of the ceiling where it had been affixed.
I was so proud that I had been able to stuff each of the 3 holes, (made by the screws from the clothesline frame), with silicone, and all along the metal frame, and replace it, securely, on the ceiling, all by myself. It has, however, been slowly pulling back out from the ceiling.
Recently, I was hanging some plastic bags up to dry, and pulled the entire clothesline down on top of me.
I can’t tell you how annoying that was, looking at everything lying on the floor there, in front of the laundry machines. There were plastic bags, socks, handkerchiefs, well, you get the idea. Also, not to mention, my collection of fresh, though dried chiles. (They’re easier to find at the moment if they’re hanging in plain sight.)
This is what I had left.
Whilst I was in the neighborhood, and had 2 drills at my disposal, I removed the broom, and mop holder from the far wall, just above the new cart, and put it on this wall, just inside the laundry/pantry area. The part of the wall it’s on now is a solid brick wall, but the far half of that wall was added on at some point, and is hollow.
Well, that concludes our fun for one day. Our arms were so shaky after having drilled the clothesline piece into the ceiling, in the second photo, it took us both about 30 minutes to get back to normal. Yikes we’re out of shape. I ended up finishing up the project because I wanted to get it done.
Next comes the 3rd bathroom that is only used as storage. We’re going to make it into a real storage area. That’ll be for another day.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy.
Post script: I had a tub of plaster repair delivered the other day, and filled in the holes. Not too bad, if I say so myself.
