[VAC] Re: Blinds
Daisy
You wouldn't believe this. I measured my windows for the first time. Went to Home Depot
and was pricing the blinds just to get a wag on what it would cost to do all the windows.
I ran into someone I did tile for a few years ago who happens to have his own blind
business now. Told him what I was doing and he said he may have some wood blinds in his
garage that was cut the wrong size. He now has the measurements and is going to check
the blinds to see if they will fit. Now my concern/hope is that they will allow me to
operate the windows without raising the blinds to get access to the levers.
I'm off work today and supposed to be putting up Christmas lights, but will try to slip
off to see the blinds myself. He also said he has a couple of plantation shutters that
I can have if they will fit. Think they may look good over the kitchen sink. Thanks for
suggesting the blinds, sure will beat sewing curtains. I got a needle in a finger from
that dang machine and it hurt worse than hitting it with a hammer.
