Sunday is Fun Day!

We haven't liked the gauze curtains in the family room ever since we bought the cabin. Sunday was the day we ripped them down and hung some vertical blinds.

This was a huge project. There are three sliding glass doors in a row and these blinds have to line up just so. The project needed some high tech machinery to make it a success. Check this out:


This is a level mounted on a tripod on top of a dining room table. Sort of a Bob the Builder/Jeremy/Egyptian* combination apparatus. We used the red line to make sure all of the blinds hung from the same horizontal point all around the room.

It worked like a charm, too.

You can decide if you think the blinds are an improvement over the ugly, wrinkled and sparse gauze panel.

Yeah. Me, too.

*Egyptians are believed to have invented the kitchen table.
