Week 46 - Home Improvement

This week's project was captured in pictures.

I've had a bedsheet covering a broken mini-blind in my bedroom for the past 4 or 5 years. Pathetic, I know...



Not being very handy, I avoided trying to fix the blind, or doing anything about it. However, given the blog, I took some measurements, and dropped $20 on this:



After 3 hours, a cut finger, and the insightful realization that it'd be so much easier to use the holes that were already drilled, I present you the final result. A blind with slats that function in both the open and closed positions!





In the future, if you need mini-blinds installed, don't hesitate to...flip right by me in your cell directory :P It was a fun challenge, but it's rare I have 3 hours to waste on something that takes my handy brother-in-law about 10 minutes to do.
