Well, I’m glad you measure up.

These are all valid reasons for Dan to hang the curtains

excuses excuses excuses ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

The level is important since floors are often slightly uneven so just measuring up from floor or just from window corners can lead to a slanted curtain rod. Then If the curtains are hung on rings, they can slide toward the lower side and look uneven at the bottom. The one time I succumbed to the “let curtains ‘puddle’ on the floor” decorator touch I soon realized I had created a splendid dust bunny trap. You have two cats, keep the curtains off the floor!

Go, Amanda! Way to hold that level!

It’s OK Amanda I’m allergic to painting. A church member asked me to come over and help her paint her small bonus room. What should have taken one afternoon turned into a three day marathon because we kept running out of paint. My dad, who is a painter offered to look at the room and give us the proper amount of paint to buy but she refused. All of that said, I don’t paint anymore.

I feel caution is a good attribute for a judge to have.

Holding the level is the most important part of the job. Dan just stays so calm and gets the job done.

You and Dan are such a great team! He does the work and you “help” him by giving him verbal support. Sounds like me and the ex. I still can’t hang anything straight even with a level apparently.

Amanda is doing her level best.

And holding the level is the most important-ish job, in curtain hanging!

We had to hang a curtain rod recently; somehow, I found a “no measure” one. They come with a L-shaped guide that you align with the window box/frame. I still had Other do the installation… So I could vacuum up the drywalling dust as it fell, of course!
