My first home I installed vertical blinds. When I first saw the house there were curtains in the bedroom and drapes in the living room. It looked small and dark. I took down the drapes, curtains, and curtain rods. Of course the house looked bigger and brighter now, the sun was shinning through all the uncovered glass.

After patching up the curtain rod bracket holes I started painting. The masking was the time consuming part. I think I spent three times preparing to paint than I did actually painting.

These days most professionals use a paint gun and compressor but I painted the old fashioned way with brush and roller. For the first house interior that I had completely painted I had to say it looked good. Now was the time to measure for the vertical blinds. I had eleven windows to cover. Not many.

The house only had eleven windows to cover. I measured the windows myself for the vertical blinds to save money. There was an extra charge for the company to send someone out to measure. Overall the price was very reasonable. I went with the thickest type of vertical blind because I wanted them to last. It was a little more expensive but I figured the heavier grade of vertical blind the better.

I would pay to have someone measure though if I were you. I did measure correctly and the vertical blinds did fit. But if I had made a mistake I would have to pay to have the window blinds redone. If they measured and made a mistake they would replace them at no charge.

However, there was no problem with my measuring. The vertical blinds were delivered and I got to work. Now I am one of those guys challenged by the most simple of building tasks. But I was kind of proud when I had put up the last of the vertical blinds.

The instructions were easy to read and easy to follow. There was one place in the dining room I had to improvise. The widows came together at a corner and I had to cut the top vertical blind awning to get it to fit. But that worked and other than that everything went up fine. I borrowed a drill from a friend to drill the holes for the brackets but I used a regular screwdriver to place the fasteners.

In the end I was pleased with the way they looked. The vertical blinds, which I chose the color white, added a modern look and feel to the house. They were easy to draw open and turn closed. They were surprisingly sturdy and very durable. In fact the vertical window blinds were still hanging in the house eighteen years later when I sold the house.
