Well, it took a long time to finally get done, but here it is. We've been drying thing in the area of our stove ever since we first installed one by hanging things over whatever was around... I like to avoid using the clothes drier (electric) and during the warmer weather we hang things outside but standing out there in subfreezing temps really stinks. Something about handling damp clothes in the cold that turns fingers to ice rather quickly.
Anyway, since we have this "wide hallway" area next to the stove I figured putting lines across the area would work. Extra humidity will be welcome too - hoping to run the load during day, hang before bed (while waiting for last load in stove to stabilize?), then pull it down in the morning while waiting for first load to come up to temp.
Naturally to pass the happy wife test the lines had to come down when not in use and whatever stayed up has to look at least halfway decent. So this is what I ended up with. Each line is independent - hook to hook across the room. Hooks can also be used without lines (obviously) for hanging the snow pants, coats, etc that were cluttering the area anyway.
Just thought you folks might like to see it... yes the area is a mess - I just got it done and didn't make it all pretty, welcome to reality when working on a project and just getting it done! heh.
