For a LONG time I have been searching for NICE wooden blind for my top front window.. see Squeak reflected in it below.

Yesterday, Crusing CRAIGSLIST I found an ad for:
" 67"x72" wooden blind, was over $200.00 at Lowes, for sale, $25.00"


So I emailed the lady, we spoke on the phone, and I picked it up today...
I KNOW these are WELL OVER the two hundred she sited becasue I have been watching them for two years.

What a difference a day can make, (this time in a DECENT way!).

I put it up during the WARMEST part of the afternoon and the temprature DROPPED ten degrees in here AS SOON as it was UP!

Happy homeowner!

Craigslist is so cool. It's a great way to swap stuff and even make a few bucks.

I am glad that you got a good deal. It shows us that there are some decent people in this world that is not out to make a bundle, just help someone else out....

I love Craigslist. We bought a car for $500. We did put about $500 more into it, but it now runs beautifully.

Great deal. We got solid cherry spindles for our upstairs bannister for like a buck each off Craigslist. :-)
