We recently had some old clothes lines break so my father decided to replace them. What to do with that drab old clothes line poles though? Add insulators of course! I had already put pins in the top with porcelain insulators on it from a previous year. I decided to change things out and add some brackets and different insulators. Here is my father stringing the lines. He picked the green clothes lines which I said made it look like the old copper telephone lines.
