      ABSOLUTELY agree. Mandatory video for all cat owners. Just got done replacing $250 worth of blinds because I had not seen this video!!! Never again will I replace a cat-broken blind! Thanks for a great video! 🎉

    It must be me, 37 minutes later, I fixed 1 slat. First, I put it on backwards and then from sliding it in an out, I snapped the whole thing and had to get another one and tried again. And of course, that slat was an inch bigger than the last so I improvised.
    And yes, I did measured. After all that, I got the one slat on and went to bring the venetian blind up, but the tape made it stuck.
    So you know that one snapped off also. I got about three more to go but I think at this point I’m gonna go out and just buy a new one. I don’t know how you do it so quick but I certainly couldn’t. I did notice the venetian blinds with the strings are much stronger, cheap plastic , as opposed to the new ones with no string because by law, they don’t sell string ones anymore. Maybe your next video you can teach us how to put the tape on but then that was just another issue. I think the video is great but like I said it had to been me. Thank you again.

  • @Aweoe
    @Aweoe Před 11 měsíci

    No. You dont need to cut anything. The bottom of the blind will have two caps you can remove. You can slide the blinds off with this. I recommend everyone watch a different video.

    • @AlleyPicked
      @AlleyPicked  Před 11 měsíci

      How do you get the bottom blind into the spot where one is broken at the top. I don't see how your theory works.

    • @Aweoe
      @Aweoe Před 11 měsíci

      ​@@AlleyPickedYou remove the bottom cap, which frees the string that pulls the blind up. Then you slide out the bottom blind and the broken blind and switch them. Then, you thread the pull up string back through and tie it again at the bottom. Again, just watch any other video and you can see how its done.
