How To Repair Almost Any Type of Window Blinds

August 25, 2015 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Ken's Korner - Ken GuthrieYou may remember an article I did in the newsletter back in February about metal repair clips for vertical blinds. Those were to repair vertical blinds where the top of the vane has torn out and the vane will not hang anymore. Those are available at your local home improvement store.

Well, since then I have found yet another fabulous source of those clips and a gazillion other things to repair not only vertical blinds but all kinds of blinds. I’m talking about repairing just about any aspect of any window blinds. This source is online at www.FixMyBlinds.com.

Here is how they helped me. A few years after we moved into our current home, the valance clip on one of our kitchen window blinds broke and the valance came down. The valance clip is the plastic clip that holds the valance in front of the metal body of the blinds at the top of the window. The valance matches the blinds and covers the ugly metal body at the top.

Adjusting Window BlindsI hunted all over the place and could not find a clip that would work. I could not identify what brand the blinds were so I could not contact the manufacturer. It was very frustrating! Rather than buy new blinds that would not match the current blinds I decided to just live with the lack of a valance.

For some reason, though, because I thought someday I might have a solution, I stored the valance. Here it is years later and I did find the solution! They had the clips at FixMyBlinds.com! I never knew there were so many different sizes and types of valance clips!

And wow! They have got every kind of blind part you can imagine! Not only that, they have guides to help you identify what you need for your damaged blinds. Not only that, they have videos on how to fix the blinds once you get the part!

Sometimes this old boy really gets down on the internet. But other times, like this, it is obvious that without the internet, a product/service provider like this could not possibly succeed. With the internet, they can make millions of people’s lives a little bit happier.

Are all the blinds in your house in perfect condition? If not would you like them to be? You’ve got to check out www.FixMyBlinds.com!

5 Heating-Season Checks Worth Doing Now Heating 5 Heating-Season Checks Worth Doing Now
 
Heating season has a way of exposing the little things that were easy to ignore all summer. 🔧
 
Five checks worth doing now:
 
1️⃣ Check or change the filter — if your heating system has one, follow the replacement schedule in the owner's manual
 
2️⃣ Book service if it's due — it's better to find a small problem during a routine visit than during a no-heat call
 
3️⃣ Find the drafts — doors, windows, the attic hatch, anywhere pipes come through a wall. Weather stripping and a tube of caulk go a long way
 
4️⃣ Review the thermostat schedule — make sure it still matches when you're home, asleep, and away
 
5️⃣ Reverse the ceiling fans, if yours have a winter setting — clockwise on low helps circulate warm air back into the room
 
A short check now helps your heating system work the way it's supposed to all season.
 
Which one is still on your list? Let us know in the comments.

When Selling Is Simply the Better Move If you've When Selling Is Simply the Better Move

If you've been weighing whether to keep the house and rent it out, it's worth hearing the other side: plenty of the time, selling is the clearer call.
 
You need equity. If the down payment on the next home depends on this one's proceeds, that usually settles it. Stretching to carry two mortgages is where this decision goes wrong most often.
The numbers don't work. Rent that doesn't cover the carrying costs, with no strong case for appreciation, is a monthly subsidy to a house you no longer live in.
 
The house needs work. Deferred maintenance, an aging roof, old systems. Tenants don't defer those costs — they surface them.
 
Your home sells well right now. A softer headline market doesn't mean your specific house is sitting.
 
You don't want the job. Being a landlord is ongoing work, not a one-time decision. Plenty of owners run the numbers, see a decent hold on paper, and sell anyway because they'd rather have a clean break and a simpler life.
 
Keeping the house isn't a free option. It just doesn't come with a monthly bill that makes the cost obvious.
