Loosen the screw so washer will turn, turn it to tighten cords then retighten screw u will have to hold washer till screw is tight. Don’t over tighten cords or screw, just enough to do what u wat them to do.
I hope this helps. Be easy with the blinds going up and down the are not real sturdy.
Good luck  less

Seann ( the Canadian) December 9 rclark has it right. Follow his instructions, you will have to periodically redo this, I've been doing this for the last 10 years

It's too much on the strings if you don't. Tighten on wall like mentioned above. If they are down most of them time, push them up and re pleat them all properly and leave them both up for awhile. They can be re-strung if strings break if you have patience.  less

(make one yourself out of wire.  This is just a 6" needle type tool to be used to string the new cord thru the pleats)    Take the blind down and lay it out on the bed.  Take good notes on the string routing, then remove the old string.  Replace the cut grommets.  Use your routing notes and the needle type tool to install the new cord.  Get a helper for putting this whole thing back up in the window.  Keep all your supplies (new cord and the restring tool) for the next time.  less

HappyTrvlrs December 10 Btw...  Make sure you measure your old strings first then go from there. Good Luck! https://www.amazon.com/United-Shade-650000-Pleated-String/dp/B008OAECW0

Eric and Kathy December 9 Thank you for the tip and the video.  I was thinking of making something similar out of PVC.  Our cheap wooden drying rack kept falling apart, so I finally ditched it.  The wind always blew it over anyway.

We have used similar heaters in our house when propane was $2.29 a gallon. The thing about these heaters is that they don't heat the air nearly as high as gas fired heaters so the humidity levels stay relatively stable.  less

Ross & Melanie December 7 Since our primary heat and cooling are two heat pumps, they remove a lot of moisture.

Pat and Alan Young December 5 TheRVGeeks on youtube have great videos. We have learned a LOT of stuff from that site

Jim & Jan Grabe December 7 Thanks for posting.  13 minutes long.  We watched it and agreed with everything they said!

Sharon B December 4 Great idea

The WE2's December 4 It also sounds like a shot gun racking when you just click the unlock and lock button!

Michael & Dena December 4 What’s wrong with letting them hear the real shot gun

PassinTime December 5 lol - but then you have the hassle of trying to keep track of which states reciprocate on licenses.

LarandSus December 4 Are you wanting to keep it connected while driving or do you mean all the time while parked?

Michael & Dena December 4 Could you share a photo

TheClearyClan December 5 Maybe something like this could also help.

Brian&Nadine December 5 Does anyone else realize that people who carry that are at these gun massacres have a greater chance of getting shot by the police than people that don't?

Robbie & Alice December 5 Loaded.

I leave my guns at home when we travel. But my guns were pre-NRA -- sports hunting guns for pheasant, squirrel, and rabbits -- a 12 guage shotgun and 22 caliber rifles. Best to all of you.  less

Toni & Chet December 13 What do you do though if you have a concealed carry and take your gun with you, travel to 2=3 states that it is ok to do so then the 4th one, you shouldn't have it.  You can't hardly get rid of it.

Mike and Donna Wagner December 4 I think this is a reply for the post below by Melvin and Laura.

David & Leslie December 4 Your preparations would depend largely where the house is located - cold with freezing or not cold with little chance of freezing.  Otherwise, do you have a trusted neighbor or friend living nearby.

Bob & Shirl Thompson December 4 I can recommend both indoor and outdoor NEST cameras. Easy to set up. There is a storage feature that saves video in case your Internet is down.

Turn off most of the power through the breakers make sure someone picks up your mail or put it on holdmake sure of what you have to do to maintain Insurance EG how often does somebody have to walk through your house to check it. Make sure to empty the fridge and leave the doors open. If you're in freezing country turn the thermostat down low you don't need to keep it shirt sleeve comfortable I leave mine at 40.  less

Eric and Kathy December 4 Pretty simple in Florida. Turn off water, turn up A/C, turn down gas water heater, unplug unnecessary appliances (like wifi), handle mail, and have someone on tap for hurricane shutters.

Kevin & Leslie December 7 Sell it?
