Mr C has recently moved into a new flat and is still getting some things organised. GoodGym were called on to help installing roller blinds to the sitting room. This would block out the light from the street light outside and make the room function as a guest room, allowing Mr C to have his granddaughter's over to visit.

After some discussion about where and how to fit the brackets, the team set to work marking up where the screws would go, supervising Mr C while he drilled the holes, and then putting the blinds in place.

That was all simple enough. There then followed a good half hour of tricky maneuvers, encouraging the blind to work. But we didn't give up. In the end, it took 3 attempts, a search online for the instructions, plus a few words of encouragement to the roller blind itself before we got it operational.

Thankfully, the second roller blind was more obliging and Mr C was most grateful that we got the task done.
