Continuing my DIY adventures I get round to mounting those shelves from the previous video, and cut down a total of 8 blinds to size. Made-to-measure blinds would have cost us about 8 gerzillion-billion quid so we bought individual units that could be cut to size.
However, I foolishly took the measurements from the first aluminium blind I cut to size and used them on the wooden blind, but it turned out the wooden blinds were shorter to begin with. The result – A waste of time, an unusable blind and a sad Chris.
At least I learnt my mistake on this first blind and managed to install the rest of them without any issues!

Don’t beat yourself up too much about the “blind” mistake. We’ve all done that kind of thing in our youth. Remember that trite old saying ” Measure twice – cut once” – it’s actually pretty good advice isn’t it!
And your office ? nice work you are bricoman :)
Look pretty nice! We got made-to-measure blinds, and they cost a bomb, my parents a bomb that is ;)
When drilling holes in the wall, get someone to hold a hoover underneath to collect the dust etc whilst you’re drilling, saves a lot of time :)
