This Old House / Out Darn Stuff
Aug. 2nd, 2022 05:14 pmWhen we installed new blinds last year, we left the sliding doors alone even though we hated the crappy blinds that came with the house. Some of them had broken and fallen off over the years and I'd repaired them with packing tape. We didn't know if the sliding doors would be replaced with something else. Well, it turns out the sliding doors are best left as sliding doors. We'll never get the same sort of energy efficiency with another kind of door.
No biggie!
Well, as Dave Barry famously wrote in a 1980s humour column, "Shhh! The Fridge Is Listening", it turns out the blinds were listening!
They fell on me as I exited back into the house! I wasn't hurt, but there was no saving the blinds, as you can see. It was like the rail wasn't even attached to the brackets. We hung up the old lace curtain from the living room for now, pending a more aesthetic solution later. We never liked the blinds, so good riddance!
