Oh my goodness i wouldn't have had your patience with that washing line contraption 😂 Your old cabinet is lovely. A light in the top recess would be great 😊 I love your videos 😊

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

That contraption is enough to send me over the top. I think I would stick to bringing my clothes in if it starts to rain. You have sooooooo much patience Sean. I would have given up. Good on you.

[@Angel-002]

There's a place for it though .........it's called a bin🤣🤣🤣

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

Haha…..perfect solution!!

[@wendykeyes7172]

Oh my gosh ! Struggling with that clothes line was a riot ,had me in fits of laughing !

[@evepaludan7713]

My grandmother had a desk similar to that. I think they are so lovely as well as functional. In the U.S., we used to call the style a secretary desk. I think you will enjoy using it.

[@JBLegal09]

Interesting, we call it a bureau in Australia.

[@marie34K]

[@jewelsjules6295]

This was a joy to watch - clothes line workout😂 , I love the cabinet also, definitely fits in well ❤

[@thijsjong]

What a device. Hahaha. I thought it was going to be an electronic gadget. It would detect rain with a sensor and then pull the cover over the washing line with an electric motor. I first thought wind would be the main problem tearing at the cover. This design would only work with pouring rain. The clothes would get wet before the thing gets going.

[@marie34K]

Oh dear ...rushing out to pick up the washing is much more efficient than this contraption ! But it was funny to watch you battle with it .

[@sharonjones3646]

Bore da Sean oh you make me laugh the things you come out with knickers and socks 😅 so lovely to have a chuckle in the morning 😊 your vintage cupboard desk is beautiful I love old furniture it's the best you can have .I am intrigued by that washing line I too would give it a go Sean Im curious too .have a lovely day take care love from at the moment sunny Aberystwyth ❤❤

[@Gotsomethingtosaynow]

This was hilarious. I would not have the patience for that, but it was a good laugh watching the assembly of the contraption.

Hope you’re feeling better now lovely x

@@1971gladys I am thank you 😊 Sean never fails to cheer me up with his videos.

[@sandraphelan2004]

Hi Sean what a lovely piece of furniture great to see it re homed love older furniture it seams to last longer and not fall to bits and it’s not grey just beautiful wood. I could see the enthusiasm going very quickly putting up that contraption, I could not stop laughing, personally I would have put it in the bin but admire the need to give it a go. On the flip side the tarp cover could be useful as a cover in the garden. Thanks for another great video .

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

Absolutely lovely piece of furniture and fits perfectly. I like that it is not only a desk but also storage in the bottom and display special items or books in the top behind that beautiful glass. What a great find.

[@wendygoodwin9810]

Such a beautiful peace of work. I'd give a lot for a cupboard like that. Your postings are great. I'm so happy to have found your posts. Wendy in Vancouver, B.C.

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

I have fallen victim to gadgets that seemed like a good idea but the practicality of them leaves a lot to be desired. Absolutely adore your new writing desk. There is something special above give older pieces a new lease on life. Just think of the stories it could tell.

[@judithhobson5868]

gorgeous cabinet, the rain curtain would make a good shower curtain with some more hanging holes

[@sonjabirch5533]

Oh my days Sean, i have laughed so much at the Shenanigans of that washing line contraption,😂😂. I would have put it in with milk bottles in recycling bin. Ha ha. Bless your heart,you have the patience of a saint. Thanks for the laughs!

[@margaretg7861]

I love your cabinet Sean, what a beautiful thing . I would chuck the washing contraption in the bin, more nuisance than it is worth. Kind of someone to think of you, but what a palaver to use . .Take care ..

[@angelenaboden]

How offensive to the person who spent money on it. Imo amazon wish lists are a form of begging.

[@Angel-002]

I don't think the person realised just how fiddly it was going to be. Sometimes you do a kind thing & gift something & don't know how complicated it is to set up. I don't know if Sean specifically asked for it, but whoever sent it, did it with good intentions. They are probably thinking the same, but their heart was in the right place. Sometimes you don't know until you try🤷‍♀️

[@susancourse4607]

Love the writing desk/cabinet, very useful. Faffing about with that clothes line contraption thing would send anybody over the edge!! Good for you at persevering! Love the video!

[@lindacampbell540]

Had me in stitches that……a good chuckle goes a long way❤

[@Twirlover]

Kudos for trying Sean😄 It was a bit trying but you gave it a go. The piece of furniture is gorgeous ❤ Also Amber 💓 Don’t worry about wasting the odd day here and there, it happens. Best wishes to you and I hope you get some good sleep 💤

[@carolineharry6605]

Lovely cabinet. Wooden furniture, especially older pieces do have a lovely nostalgic smell about them. I wonder if your neighbours were filming you trying to get the washing line contraption to work.😂 Almost a Frank Spencer moment there. I really wouldn’t have the patience with it. You had more patience than me for you to have tried for as long as you did to set it up.

[@leighwiseman8389]

Hi Sean, you've more patience than me, that washing line cover thing would drive me mad. I absolutely love the new furniture, especially with the beautiful stained glass. That was a handy gift, the toolbox. Know exactly what you mean with some days going like you haven't achieved much, but this has been as usual an enjoyable video. Thank you Sean 😊

[@constancehutchison1358]

We have a polytunnel which we use to hang our washing in on rainy days

[@Angel-002]

That's a good idea. Maybe Sean should build his greenhouse across the back like he was thinking & then he could dry his washing there🤔

[@okallie]

Omg - when you said you want the slow life, but not that slow....I literally laughed out loud! Thank you

[@ChristineHillier67]

Your bureau/cupboard is very nice, I can't believe someone didn't want it either.what a lot of faffing about the washing line cover was,it was a thoughtful gift though, you could always repurpose it as an automatic shower curtain 😂 hope your sleep improves soon,take care 💜

Oh yes, that piece of furniture (I would call it a 'secretaire') looks great in that corner of your living room! And, as you say: good craftmanship.

I have similar but without the bookcase and love all the little compartments. I’ve always known them as bureaus

[@abigaillockey374]

I thought you might fall when I saw you balancing on the ledge of your garden reaching out to assemble that laundry thingie! But I do love the cupboard you got, it's beautiful! And the tool kit was just what you need! Books to read and new photographs too! What a lucky guy!

[@theresevh]

"I know I want to live the slow life, but not this slow -" lol it is a bit of a faff! lol good idea maybe but the execution is problematic. Thanks for the video! I love your new desk. I saw it in the last video, and longed for it myself. Good score! Fits perfectly.

[@mrwibbles20]

I always miss living in a flat where there was clothes lines under a roof down the side of the garage. We could put our washing out in all weather and it'd dry. Where I live now, if I had that useful sounding device on my washing line it would get blown a few kilometers in the next heavy wind unfortunately. Thanks for the video!

Hello Mr. Cameron, I was chuckling to myself as you had a running monologue with the clothing line contraption. I would say the same thing under those circumstances. Thank you for sharing the buds of the spring flowers in your garden. I live in Southern California and we done have four seasons here. I miss the seasons. I am glad you're feeling better. God bless you. God bless Wales.

Good grief! No wonder that gadget didn’t sell. There are two of us here and I have two old clothes horses and a washing line. Covers all weathers 😂

[@suebradford890]

I've got a good idea Sean, cut all the cords, plastic bits etc. off the plastic sheet and use the sheet as a waterproof cover for your garden chair, when you get one! Just a thought!

[@carolwhite6979]

Hi Sean! Love your cupboard. I have one very similar to yours in my little back bedroom, but we refer to the style as a secretary! It holds my writing materials, journal, laptop, stamps and favourite books, the bottom doubles as storage out of season clothing and linens! I have a comfy chair, and afghan and a good floor lamp in there too so many hours are easily passed on stormy days with a good book and mugs of tea! I think I spend more time in that little room than the rest of my home! You were right about the clothes line! A good concept but poor execution. any little gust of wind would have the rain sheet flying! 😂

[@joanna9493]

Love the bureau /bookcase, can't say the same about that awful clothes protector, I can just imagine you losing your patience with it. 😂

[@mattszalwinski6869]

Sean, I nearly choked on my sandwich when you said, "I've got to attach it to a milk bottle." 😂😂

[@bluemoon6625]

So, you might use it until it "pushes you over the edge" ! Ha ha ha, I feel your pain! I can't abide flimsy gadgets like that, in theory it could work but in practice I doubt it's going to be very practical. By the time the little widget thing has filled with rain the clothes could already be wet, then when the cover moves over it might seal in the damp. That bureau was a nice find, it looks just right there.

[@gwenscoble6229]

Apart from the wind, my other thought was 'does it retract when it stops raining?' Just be ready for April Showers next month!😉. Then vision of Sean doing the hokey kokey, 'In Out, In Out, shake it all about', in time with the washing cover🤣🤣.

[@Jane_and_Meg]

Hi Sean, I think you'd be better off standing over your washing with a large umbrella when it rains! 😅 I must admit when I saw your live stream I did think the sheet needed to be longer. Such a shame the idea is good in principle! Pity it doesn't come with two sheets so you can have one at the other end! I liked your desk cupboard really good. 👍 You should be able to get those sort of handles at a DIY store, it should just unscrew. We have similar handles here on our cupboards in the bedroom. Nice to see Amber out and about bless her. ❤

[@susanellis7780]

Nice cabinet. Reminds me of the old sideboards people used to have. Also reminds me of the food cupboard in the living room😊

Bin that washing line Sean! Just more plastic rubbish, sorry to say it 😞. Use a stainless steel folding clothes dryer, easy to move around in the garden and in and out of the kitchen. Buy a large polythene sheet to cover it IF rain due and your going out. I've been doing that for years and works brilliantly. Loving your videos Sean. Take care 💚
