This weekend we completed our last big project - putting up new window coverings. Like most projects, this turned out to be more time consuming than planned and required about 7 trips to the Hardware Store but in the end it was all worth it!
Window Coverings - BeforeBiggest Blind Problems:
1) Blinds wouldn't go up and down because the windows were too tall.
2) Blinds were just plain ugly
3) We couldn't open the top section of windows that opened in, because the blinds covered them up
Window opening inSolution!!!
Using the pre-existing holes from the other blinds we hung the whole section of new blinds down a window using metal rods and attached all the blinds to a long wooden 1x4.
Brad working on the blinds - he looks so short by these windows!(BTW, we were watching Meet The Press for those who care)
Blinds - All done! Woo-hoo!

jack & i are enjoying looking at the pics of your new "hotel". he wants to know if you still have a swimming pool though!
can't wait to see you two!
Andi - we are excited to see you all too! Sadly enough, we don't have a swimming pool, but we are much closer to the lake, which is sort of like a huge swimming pool! Though in late May, the water is still a little cold!
I think your apartment ceilings might be literally twice as tall as mine.
so nice! really hope to see it in person sometime soon.
