Last of the Roller Shades, Craigslist

We have one crazy window that is over our stairs and difficult to reach. I asked Art how he was going to be able to hang the roller shades on it. Well, he remembered how the carpenters were getting to high places and copied their technique. Looked pretty precarious to me but it got the job done. Now, we just have four more windows to put vertical blinds on... once they arrive. Hopefully the reordered blinds will be correct this time.



In between getting the roller shades up we went on another Craigslist hunt. This time, it was a 4 feet high very heavy mirror. We'll hang it up tomorrow.



Art says I must have been a hunter gatherer in a past life. I hate to go shopping but I'm getting such a kick out of Craigslist. Maybe it's the idea of recycling. Maybe it's getting more for our money. Maybe it's sort of like gambling? I do tend to bargain. Art thinks it's all pretty funny.


Can you see the kraft paper behind me on one of the four windows we have left to work on?

P.S. Good grief! Would you believe it's still raining? The Hawaii Marathon was this morning and those runners got soaked!
