All for Nothing

My family got a bit of a reality check and decided to do a bit of home maintenance, starting with our clothesline. When my brothers and I were little we liked to swing on stuff like our gate and our clothesline, so if you're lucky enough to visit our house, you will notice our slightly slanted gate, and our leaning clothesline! Our mum should probably thank us for that, or else she wouldn't have been able to reach the clothesline!

Anyway our clothesline has this handle that you can wind, that makes the clothesline higher or lower. Over the years it has rusted and has been stuck, so my dad decided he would try fix it. We took the clothesline apart and got rid of a bit of rust, and after a bit of cleaning we put the clothesline back together again and tested it out. It moved up a little bit! Although all our work was for nothing when later in the day, Aonghas, who woke up once we had all finished, came outside to play basketball and noticed the handle at a different angle than it was the day before. He thought he'd try twist it and broke the handle off!
