HILLS HOIST! NOT ANY MORE

I’m one of those people who won’t give in to my disability. “So I’m miss independent”, what’s wrong with that?

One day, could be sooner rather than later, I won’t have the use of my arms. I’m not there yet but I am realistic and know its in my future.

In the meantime I do what I can with the help of some pretty neat AT (assistive technology)

I’ve had a pretty good system going in my laundry for some years now but I have been struggling with it lately.

My arm strength ain’t what it use to be. After all I do put them through their paces at times.

Anyways, I’ve been searching for a solution so I can continue doing my washing/laundry myself.

I found it……

A power assisted clothesline that’s remote control, comes down to a height that I can manage to hang washing at AND it has heating, cooling fan and a light all at a touch of a button.

But wait there’s more…. at the time of purchase I decided to buy the pegs that are used with the line….yep pegs. The coolest pegs ever. So, I peg them to the garment while its on my knee then I hang it on the line. The pegs have hooks making it so easy for me to just reach up one hook at a time and hang my clothes over the line. So no more trying to hold the garment up to the line with one hand while pegging with the other.

I love it so much that I can’t wait for the next load of dirty washing just so I can hang my washing then press a button and send it to the roof/ceiling to dry.
