    I suppose, with me being the female of the species, I should expect to be astonished from time on this predominantly male forum.

    Just how has anyone grown to adulthood without the acquisition of at least two industrial strength 8ft long wheeled clothes rails, plus a more dainty adjustable one for the lighter things?

    Gees, Pleater! I said I was replacing the ones I had before. As far as an eight foot clothes rack.. I'm not sure that would fit in my little aluminum cottage.

    I'm having to rearange everything just for this clothes rack...

    And yes, I am male, so I thought of building the rack out of fence parts before I bought this one...
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Replacing one feeble rack that bent - possibly with fencing?

    I fear I might swoon at such an idea!

    No! I replaced the bent rack with a better rack. And I only thought about using the fence parts; I didn't say I was going to do it.

    However, I did take those same fence parts, the rails for the top of a chain-link fence, and use them to make a hanging garden a few years ago. In fact, I used the T-poles for a laundry line turned sideways to hold the rails that held the hanging plant containers, so it isn't that crazy of an idea.

    Not that I will build a clothes rack with them; just that I thought it.

    We're men, therefore we have women to take care of those details.

    I um... live alone and am single... It's been that way for ten or eleven years now, so speak for yourself. I just don't have room for an eight foot clothes rack, much less two eight foot clothes racks.

    My accent is different with different groups of people, as well as, the way I speak etc. You learn to adapt to what will cause you the least trouble in a situation.

    I am glad that I will not be locked in the freezer for the rest of my life. Thank you.

    I was just out working in the frontyard, and noticed that the California poppies have sprouted again. They're nice.
