might i mention that these were totally free. many thanks go out to the person who left them in the trash chute closet, along with the original box and extra slats. and of course to the lady at home depot who provided the hardware...at no charge. and like the situation with the vacuum cleaner (refer to post from 12.07.08), andy had plans to purchase the item. he took all the measurements and got prices and everything. and then the next day when he went to throw his trash down the chute, lo and behold, some blinds. they are even custom-cut for the funky door handle. and they totally work and aren't grody.also, check out the newly painted stools:
these used to be a light wooden color (is there even a name for that besides "yellow?"). now, i know what you're thinking - "there's no way they scored these for free," and you're right, we had to buy paint, about $15 tax included. but yeah the stools were free, complements of some people i work for who have too much stuff.

late comment but...i am impressed by your thrifty ways and by your luck of finding blinds and vaccuum cleaners at random! hope the game was good on saturday.
