Thanks a bunch Dennis, its bad cause I was never a DIY kinda guy but some quotes are drivin me to DIMyself! I never new theres such a thing as a "Professional window blinds installer"...LMAO, do they really go to school for that??? Not knocking anyone who did...Congrats if ya did!

haha ... i started to become a DIY'er as well ... did you buy blinds already?

www.justblinds.com

they are pretty good, don't get me wrong .. they are NOT hunter douglas ... but i did my entire house with 8 horizontals, and 3 LARGE (90" width) verticals for about $700 ..... hounter douglas wanted about $4,000 to cover the same windows, witht he same style blinds.

I hung them myself ... was dreading it, and put it off for a few weeks, until the gf kicked my rear end about it ... and we ended up hanging everything in about 1 1/2 hours... .lol

thats cool. alot of my windows are odd sizes ... narrower, or wider than normal in stock stuff @ HD/Lowes.

wiszmaster, I hear ya, I got two crazy sized windows, I had to use three blinds to fix that problem. They measured 109" so I used three 56" blinds.

<~~Joe the PrO Blindsman...LOL
