zimon66At this guy.
Pandemic Life is still pbbbbt (or Bill the Cat's "Thbbft"). Needed a good laugh and a little positive news.
On the home front news: vertical blinds over the sliding back door came down slowly, I noticed something screwy as in drywall screws not holding the weight, tightening did no good. Rigged up a twin flannel top sheet as a makeshift curtain. Amazing what you can do with one hammer, six push pins, length of twine tied in a loop, and some clothes pins.
Dunno how to make a permanent fix because of what I call "stupid architecture". For example, everybody has at least one stupid cupboard - located in the kitchen, impossibly deep, sometimes goes on a left or right angle, with a very narrow door, frequently near a corner and or appliance.
There's many more: too small cupboards/closets, no closet in bedroom, weirdly placed toilet/tub/shower/ decorative fireplaces (shallow hole in the wall with brick above and a mantle), open space overkill, etc.,. Every place has a few.
There is no space above the door. The rigging had to go up into the ceiling. Which was fine for 15+ years - I don't remember when it got install by Dad.
I don't know WHY wouldn't leave space above the door (HELLO? High desert, facing west, can get really cold, can get hot in here too, got to block the elements some). Or WHY had to do this drop portion of ceiling there of all places. Ordered a stud (and other things) finder to see if there's wood something somewhere under there. This is a part that has no attic access - from what I can tell it's wall to roof with drywall.
Got solid sides, but the length of the area, rod would need support in the middle, so ceiling involved again.
Oh well. It's a pretty flannel sheet. Soft muted green with white flowers. Looks rather nice.
