    Those are sharp. I want to add something similar to my "stove room" as well. How are they powered?

    The powered ones are the four behind TV.

    They have rechargeable battery packs that Hunter Douglas calls wands, easily changeable.

    We have 2 charging stations, that'll charge 2 wands. So, 4 extra wands.

    There was a remote left for them. There's also an app that we got working this morning. Bluetooth connectivity.

    So...you're one window in the living room goes both ways? As in a bi-blind? :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Actually, on the double hung windows in this house, the blinds are the same "orientation". In over five years, there have only been a few times where the top sash has been lowered necessitating the blind to be also.

    Nice improvement to the house!

    MikeInMa You are going to love the remote control ones. Our church has four blinds on the skylight 16 ft. above the floor. So easy to open and close. Downside to ours is when the batteries need changing, you have to go up a ladder to do it.

    Morning all. Calm and dark out. Last night coming home from down island, stars were out but clouds hid the moon off and on.

    I think we get rain off and on today.

    A day today to praise and worship the Lord

    19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

    20 Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
    21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
    22 Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion.

    Praise the Lord, my soul.
    Psalm 103: 19-22

    Happy Sabbath everyone.

    We contemplated getting something for the triangular windows up high, but battery replacement shut that down. Well, and the associated $'s.

    During the AC months, the sun's angle is such that not too much comes in those windows . Heating months we want the sun to come in.

    When we had the addition done in '88, we wanted the wall of windows to face south for passive winter heating.
