I believe I’ve written about the shade in the second bedroom South-facing window.
Ron had no problem operating it, but it seemed to never stay put for me.
So, I got fed up and bought a mini-blind to replace it.
Ron installed the blind today, and it looks great, but it was a two-day ordeal.
The window dimensions on the box were not especially helpful, and once I got the blind unloaded, I was sure it was too small.
I bought the blind at Rocky’s Ace Hardware in Fairhaven, and they seem to be the only retailer in about a 15 mile radius that sells this particular brand. No other Ace in the Upper Cape carries mini-blinds as far as I can tell; you have to special order them.
Ron convinced me that the blind would be wide enough. It took him a while to figure out how to place the holders and how to mount them. We then brilliantly concluded that there was something wrong with the release mechanism and made it fall apart.
It’s finally up now and working as it’s supposed to. In fact, it looks great. I said that already, but it bears repeating.
Now to do the same thing for the other window, ha ha ha.
