My first home repair job!

We have been in the house a little over 2 months and I actually did a home repair yesterday.
Jackie bought blinds from an on line company based in Texas.  The blinds are all made in USA, which in itself is unusual.  Plus, they were a great price!
After my friend Steve came out and helped me measure the width of the windows, Jackie placed the order.  We got them while at the townhouse and I put them up as soon as we could after moving in.
But one blind in our bedroom did not lock into the upright position.  So Jackie called the company and they said they would send out a new cord.
It arrived last Friday and for four days I stared at it.
You may know I am a klutz when it comes to home repair.
Among my exploits:  Using a vice grips to grab a live wire and getting blown across the room from the shock while living on Mill Pond.   Taking a 15 foot ride on a downward moving ladder, also on Mill Pond.  Smashing myself in the face with a hammer while removing a nail at the first house on Southview.  Popping a hernia while starting a roto tiller.  (Sure, you can laugh but it hurt!)
So home repair is not a strong suit with me.
Back to the future.
I got my pliers, screw drivers of assorted sizes, hammer,  chain saw, and took down the blind.  I opened the package of cord and found a steel part that closely resembled the plastic part inside the blind rail.
Clipping the ends of the cord, I pulled out the old plastic part, re threaded the new part, snapped it back into place and rehung the blind.  Voila!!  It works!!  Jackie can raise the blind and not yell for me to do it because it now stays in position instead of falling down again.
Which reminds me of a story.
Young, shapely woman just getting out of the shower  hears her door bell ringing.  She goes and yells through the door, "Who is it?"
A man replies, "Blind man, lady."
So she thinks what the hell, I am completely naked and wet, but he's blind.  So she opens the doors.
The guy stares at her and says, "Yeow lady!!  Where do you want your blinds?"
So be careful when coming to my house.  You never know.
