Get her a new clothesline

But ONLY if you make sure its better than the existing . Any change has to be efficient , high drying big capacity and whatever else SHE desires in the structure. Improving on the existing one will be the biggest challenge you have ever undertaken - forget all those brilliant the plans you led at work . If you get this right , nothing else will matter .
Remember its YOUR JOB to work out EXACTLY what she needs - use her own logic if you need to " its not what you WANTchildren ( that includes you if you haven't worked that out yet ) that matters.... its what you N...... " .
Warning: getting this right may take some time. Take her on a train trip, if you have to, so she can study and select ; peeking into backyards and say "that one" . You might create a bit of a scene on the train - just tell em " you've been blogging" and that's what blogging does to you- they will understand, and if they don't they are a bit backward , and probably won't say a single thing more - thinking "he is clever ....he used a word I didn't understand".
In Australia , The hills hoist was the main feature of every home beautiful before Backyard blitz came along and wrecked things . Hills being an innovative aussie of great note.

The point is,  if you achieve this almost impossible feat ,you will have improved her day out fighting the ravages of nature by a few minutes and that would be heaven . If you not sure your final choice makes sense, try hanging out the washing for a day or two .
BUT make sure she's away till you put it out and bring it back in - there could be nothing worse that actually getting THAT job - even if you are the house husband !
