[A/S] Blinds
Hi Gang,
I decided I wanted blinds instead of window shades, at least on the windows
that I do daily up and downs on.
Basically, it's the kitchen window and the big front window.
I got vinyl blinds at Home Depot. First I wanted wood, but a salesman warned
me that in intense heat wood would warp so I decided against wood. That left
aluminum or vinyl. I went with vinyl because of the cats and dogs.....
aluminum will dent too easily.
Fortunately they sell the exact widths I needed so I'll just have to shorten
them.
What an ordeal...... I've put up tons of blinds, but never in a trailer
before. I had to drill through the aluminum, which was impossible before I
took down the cornice board over the sink. Just trying to see up to find the
screws was hard enough, then getting my cordless drill up to grab the
screws......
I got it...... and up went the blinds. They look great. The kitchen window
looks right into the bathroom and I'm going camping from Wednesday til Monday
so I needed the privacy. If anyone will be at the Escapees campground,
Sumter Oaks, near Busnell, FL this weekend let me know... or look for the red
F250 and Airstream.
Haven't dpne the front window yet, but that will be a piece of cake after the
kitchen.
