Keen bike tourists Ingrid and Yves recently sent us some photos of the homemade clothesline they use while bike touring.
Yves is very handy, and carved the wooden spindle himself (130mm long, 85mm wide and weighing just 26g). The 14m long polymide string comes from a sailing shop, and is 2mm thick. We’ll let Ingrid tell the rest of the story.
“The clothes line is very important to us,” she says. “We air our worn clothes every evening. When we wash them, they need to dry as quickly as possible. A line helps. Yves created something to wrap the line. It is wooden and very lightweight.”
“He attaches the loose end to a tree or something similar. For that he uses a bowline knot.”
“Now it is important to tighten the rope as much as possible.”
“With these loops and windings the line is very tight and can support many clothes.”
Thanks Ingrid & Yves, for sharing your bike touring tip, and the wonderful photos.

The very crux of your writing whilst sounding reasonable initially, did not really work very well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do well to fill in all those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being amazed.

In accordance with my study, after a in foreclosure process home is marketed at an auction, it is common for that borrower to be able to still have some sort ofthat remaining unpaid debt on the financial loan. There are many financial institutions who aim to have all rates and liens paid by the upcoming buyer. Even so, depending on specified programs, legislation, and state guidelines there may be a few loans which aren’t easily solved through the shift of lending options. Therefore, the duty still remains on the borrower that has obtained his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you sharing your opinions on this site.
