We have lots of windows in our house. There are 31 windows to be exact and all but perhaps 3 need some sort of window covering. We are going the inexpensive route by hanging drapes for most of the larger windows. I have had to hang five sets of drapes so far. Every one has had some sort of problem. I have had my screws stopped by metal strips behind the drywall. I’ve had studs that aren’t the same distance on each side of the window. I have had drapes that were too long for the height that I hung the original rod. While I hate hanging drapes now, I have gotten quite good at it.

Too bad I don’t plan on hanging another set of drapes in the next 30 years.
