    Let me share with you my history and where it all began. When I was 10, my father would buy me, my brother David, and my brother Emanuel an ax for our birthdays. This started our love affair with hard work. Every Saturday, we'd spend the morning in the backyard cutting wood with chainsaws and an ax. Hard work has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember : End of Story

    Just wanted to say thanks. In all my 17 years of life I never knew how to lower my blinds and would just fight with the strings until they did what i wanted lol. With the 45 degree angle trick i have mastered the art of using blinds

    To add to this, sometimes your blinds are stuck at a high position to the point where the tension is so high that you can't raise our lower your blinds. Pushing the blinds up with your hands and pulling the string simultaneously to lower the string tension will help get it working again.

    I am going to be 40 in a matter of months and yet I just learned this. How has no one ever taught me this in my life?!

    45 degree angel is the key to pull down blinds. That saves my blinds. (I almost dump them.) Thank you very much.

    Seriously, thank you so much. For years I've lowered blinds 1 inch at a time with each pull then release.

    I hate these kinds of blinds… mad confusing took me hours to figure it out until I found your video 💕

    Thank you so much. I was about to yank this out the window. Heavy, big ass blind too.

    The trick is the 45° angle! Genius! Thank you

    I had to sign in to make a comment on your video because I initially thought others were exaggerating with respect to them saying you saved their lives. Well, I am here to testify that you literally saved my physical life today with your video. God bless you!
