It's not secure enough, that's why I use the duct tape too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-7636113181781755732011-07-13T22:41:16.625-05:002011-07-13T22:41:16.625-05:00Janet, that's a good idea.

My washer drains into a pipe, and about once every three years it gets clogged, overflows, and has to be cleared out by a plumber.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-54248405679237008352011-07-13T18:05:43.485-05:002011-07-13T18:05:43.485-05:00Decades ago, when we had my first dog, Mom would b...Decades ago, when we had my first dog, Mom would braid her old pantyhose and make tug toys for the dog. Now we use her old knee-highs as lint catchers on the washer hose, where it drains into the laundry sink. I use duct tape to hold them on, and when they get full I just throw them away. Keeps the sink from clogging up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-24792950070109436592011-07-11T09:48:20.553-05:002011-07-11T09:48:20.553-05:00Marion, interestingly, one of the first things Lev...Marion, interestingly, one of the first things Levi destroyed in my home was the little braided rug just inside my front door.<br /><br />I know you miss Nate the way I miss Kadi.
