Saturday Nat and I went shopping. I wanted to get a rug for my office/bedroom. I wound up getting a blind in stead. Well Sunday Tom and I decided to install it, shouldn't be to hard just take the old mounts down and install the new ones. Ha!didn't work that way, it needed to have new holes drilled. Talk about a Laurel and Hardy show, it was a joke. He is sitting in the chair telling me to push harder on the drill. Then he tries it and swears it is hitting metal. Neither of us have the strength to get the screw in the hole. I am saying lets forget it, I'll call Blaike, or Kelly P. he is saying no we can do it, but most of the time he is sitting in the chair giving instructions to you know who. Happily it was soon time to leave for Easter dinner at Nat's, and we had one bracket up and the other one started. When we got home I slipped up stairs, and quietly got the other bracket and center brace installed. I hung the blind which will probably fall on my head in a few days, but the window is covered. Old people should forget the mind over matter attitude, because it is truly a "matter over mind thing"; no matter how hard you try you just can't get it done. The solution, find a young un and pay them.
Well it is another day and I need to figure out how to shorten this blind, the others I have puchased were custom made. Nat said it is easy we'll see, danger, danger, this is probably when it will fall on my head.
Don't you love this large type. " I can read it!!!!"
