Hello Gals and Guys - I got the windows and doors replaced in my house this summer. The old curtains were from the the 60s and 70s, so I wanted to replace them. I've been looking at window blinds. I've got 10 normal sized windows, two doors with large windows and one large picture window that need coverings. I've got three bids. The lowest is using all normal vertical binds in the same color for all the windows. It's about $2,000 and I'm trying to figure out if that's a fair price for the work involved, which I know can be open to interpretation. The other thing I'm trying to figure out is if I spend the money for all these blinds, does having the all be the same seem like the right thing to do? I know this is subjective as well. The only one I really need to do is the large picture window. The rest can wait if need be. Thanks for any help.

I am trying to hang a set of blinds. I have one bracket on the left screwed into the wall tight but the other on the right is giving me trouble. I don't have anything to screw into apparently. I looked behind the wall and all the only thing to screw into is vinal siding. I got the bracket on the wall but it's obviously loose and won't hold the blinds. If I use the middle support bracket, it looks like it might screw into a stud. Will that be enough or do I have to still find a way to secure that right bracket? Any ideas are helpful.
