Blinded

The Gorse Fox hates roller blinds.

Urban-cub has a red roller blind for her kichen window. It was awaiting affirmative action from the Gorse Fox to put it up. Thisa morning seemed like the perfect time. With Silver Vixen we arrived at Porpoise Place and GF set about the task in hand.

• After some debate, the brackets did not require a baton, but were screwed to the frame.
  
• The blind was unravelled and the core cut to length (distance between brackets minus 15 mm).
  
• The fabrice was then cut to length (lenght of core minus 4mm)
  
• The axle and ratchet were installed and the blind rolled up.
  
• The blind was offered up and found to fit, but it was tight.
  
• Too tight. The ratchet shed the beaded string.
  
• Back at floor level the core was shortened by a futher few mm
  
• The ratchet would not re-install
  
• The few mm, were too many mm. The blind was now loose.
  
• And the ratchet would neither take up its beaded string nor turn more 30 degrees.
  

GF has concluded he needs a replacement - but would guess that is not possible without an accompanying blind.
