It feels good to be making progress on this.<br \/>\nWe also got some new cellular shades for in the living room. The old wood blinds were from when we had no covered patio on the house and we needed to stop the hot sun from coming in. The living room was dark like a cave all the time to stay cool.<br \/>\nSince then, the patio cover was finished and we replaced the windows with high rated dual pane ones. Now we can let some of the nice natural light back in! The new blinds are the two stage kind that have the light diffusing and the blackouts.
