Let there be (no) light.

Next up in the man cave? Blinds. Which were really fun to shop for considering all the windows are different sizes and thanks to my do it yourself I’m too cheap to pay a carpenter to do the finish work husband.

.

.

The price of custom blinds that would have fit perfectly was ridiculous.

.

.

That window, the smallest ( not to mention crookedest ) was quoted at $310. For one blind! I bought all 6 of these light filtering cellular linen shades for $272. That’s a no brainer.

.

Working his way around the room, I followed and tried my hardest to get right in his way.

.

.

At least that’s what he’d tell you. I prefer to think of it as active assistance.

.

.

Which is why I was banished to the other side of the room…. where I sat quietly and read a few blogs.

.

.

But when it came to the final window behind the bar I had to speak up.

.

.

Because after he installed this one, which had the best fit… only 3/8ths of an inch off… he plopped his big bullet back on the sill.

( I know it’s a round and not a bullet, I just say that to get a rise out of my husband. Did it aggravate you as well? Then yay for me. . )

.

.

The problem? The blind won’t go all the way down because the bullet is too fat.

.

.

When I told him this was unacceptable (the main reason for putting up blinds in the first place was to keep the sun from fading the bar) and suggested alternate placements for the big bullet, he forbade me to move it ( as if I could, it’s live and weighs a ton and a half ). When I stressed the need for it’s relocation due to the sun baking on the glass door of the mini fridge causing it to work harder, he told me he’d “think about it”. FFS, what is there to think about? Bullet too big, blind doesn’t close, move big bullet. It isn’t rocket science.

  10. I think you are set up for a bar and profits. Not too comfortable chairs, so it is guy’s hangout, for sure. And I guess you keep your husband in your range, so you know he is not off galivanting.

  13. He’s a stubborn one, isn’t he?
    The man cave is really coming together….let’s just hope the round/bullet doesn’t get too hot and, um, you know….do what they like to do.
