90 minutes to put up a single curtain rod..............
put a one inch diameter hole in the weak part of the plaster (that I'm going to have to repair as the landlord said maintenance could do it but it would cost me). It would be way cheaper to patch it up myself.

But spent 90 minutes just trying to get the bloody curtain rod up. Thank goodness I bought some wine today.......

I was quite proud of that wall. It was repaired after I moved in and freshly painted, and I ruined it. errr......

nothing major, but annoying.....

I'll think I'll repaint the whole bedroom. (or should I hire someone?)

need that wine.....

2. Curtain rods are deceptively simple-looking to install.
They do seem to have a weak plaster magnet embedded in the screws.
Hope the wine is satisfying.

3. I don't do a great job, but I got them up.......
you should see my living room....HUGE window, but the rod is holding. :)

had to get blinds cut to the right dimension for the kitchen window....

window covering, etc, cost can add up.
