David, obviously you used the wrong blinds. The mounts are supposed to be 100% incompatible with the old ones and necessitating filling the old holes, and repaint the walls, then putting in the new blinds. You just did it all wrong
We built a 1/2 PVC box for the Japanese Maple tree. It is only 2.5 feet tall so calling it a tree is stretching the truth a bit. Anyway now we built a little house for the tree, and true tree house. Right now it is just the cube od 1.2 inch pipe with double elbows making the ends all into a nice cube. Next up is a tarp of something for tonight when we are supposed to break a new record low of 32 degrees.
We will be doing lots of plant coverings today. The kitchen will indeed look like a jungle again.
