was this reported to the police? I can tell you because of problems
with drunk drivers and other s that a bag of cement will not keep your
new clothesline pole up. I like your idea of using heavier pipe but
maybe cnsider a deeper support hole with much more rock, etc and lots
of loose cement? or an additional anchor for the pole running back.
but then it is something else to trip over. depending on the amount of
laundry you put out one of those original unbrella type clothesline
things that you can close up or set to be in an open position. Not sure
of the name. either way that drunk should be doing the labor. Lee
