alright well that lets a little bit of light in here I want to explain what's going on I'm at a friend's house and today they have something exciting going on they're getting new window treatments we're probably saying why those look like they're in great shape well they are but these are those room darkening pleated shades and so they're very thick they didn't let no light in that's obviously the whole point and this is the issue that they're having they would like some light in this room because it gets so dark and stays so dark during the day however if they were to open them they completely move lose all of their privacy and this side of the bedroom has two windows on it that face another home so the privacy is an issue what they are getting are plantation shutters and I don't know if they're wood or white we'll have to find out when the installation people come today but basically they have the kind of shutters the louvers in them that you can lift up and down to direct the light any direction you want so during the day they can let in a lot of light but because the louvers can be on an angle you still get that privacy which is a great idea the reason I wanted to talk about this is this is what you need to think about when you're getting ready to start dressing your windows what are the functions that you're looking for do you want room darkening because if you do you're not going to have any light control if you don't care so much about that you can have great light control and privacy at the same time so installation people are coming around 3:00 today we'll get a couple shots of that so you can see it and then we'll show you the beautiful after I had the opportunity to watch the young man install these and it was really quite a simple process of course the first thing he had to do is remove the old blinds and the two brackets that held the blinds in place did that in a snap and then a lot of the steps were actually done out in the other room where he can have plenty of working room he built this outer frame which is the casing he constructed this out in the living room then brought it in set it in position drilled all the pilot holes exactly at the hinges so this will have a lot of strength to it setting in position here made sure that it was plumb and square then he just drove some screws into the walls here and this frame is nice and secure then he basically just took the shutter itself to remove the pins the hinge pins and then just placed it in put the pins in and we had shutters it was actually a very simple process and we ended up with exactly what Sheree was looking for we have light control now because the louvers can go up and down and if you want privacy they close completely I tell you what you are terrific and they would work great in any home in Florida there's no casing around this window so this casing became the new window trim in a home like in Ohio they would remove the trim and this would become your new trim so it's perfect so these are great for any area of the country
