This was so much easier to understand than any of about 10 other videos I tried looking at. Thank you so much! One of you doing the cutting, explaining the principle of the uncuttable cord, and the other one asking questions and commenting really makes it even clearer.
Lol, your comment is so much nicer than the people complaining about “the female talking too much.” Oh well, I’m glad we helped you. Thanks for watching and being kind =)
THANK YOU! The guy Dave at HD who cut our shades told us just to find a you tube video to watch and we came accross yours. I figured since it was 20 minutes you likely covered it all and I much appreciate your humor and authenticity. You and your wife make a great team.
I found this video after having about ten too many slats on my small kitchen window for almost ten years hahaha. I was scared but your video helped me fix it, it looks soooo much better!!!
I was so apprehensive about doing this, not physically hard, but so stressful because I didn't want to mess up, but only after watching your video did I have the confidence to do it. It turned out perfect. Thanks so much!
Omg! My blinds have been too long for about 5 years now and I thought surely there was a way of shortening them but never looked into it as the instructions never say how to! Project for tomorrow, much to my husbands delight 😂 Thank you for doing a step by step guide, making it look easy! 👍
Excellent, this was so clear! So many other videos left me confused 😕 your video is MUCH APPRECIATED 👏🏽- including your wife, she helped get the questions answered- tell her I said thanks! 😊
For starters, I'd like to express how very happy and excited that I am to have found you guys!!! The first 3 or so videos that I watched, after my search, almost made me have an anxiety attack!🤭 Needless to say, I ended them not even half way through. Lol! My first thought was these folks aren't "teaching", they're merely videoing themselves working and talking way too fast. Lol! Therefore I just kept going until I came across you guys which was exactly what I needed! You both did such an excellent job and I really liked that she was asking all of the right questions bc there were a couple that I had already begun to have, and to have her husband answer was absolutely perfect! I just wish I had found you guys sooner, but I'm thankful that I finally have and yes, I definitely subscribed and will be keeping up with the house fixings, as I just bought my house a couple months ago and I'm at a point in my life that I'm really enjoying all of my small DIY projects, and no doubt, from now on, you guys will certainly be my "go to" when I need to learn how to do something else! Thanks so very much for taking your time to put "rhyme with reason", bc even when I read the instructions, some of them are still really 😊hard for me to understand and so I am a better learner when I can watch how it's done instead of being told.
I'm sorry, I touched the send before I was finished. I apologize for the longevity of my comment but just wanted to express my appreciation for you both and you two are so sweet and fun to watch!! Thanks again, so very much! God bless 🙏
@fixthishouse3303 you're very welcome and thank you as well! It's all coming along, slowly but surely! I'm just thankful that I know where to come for my project demos! You guys are awesome!
Thank you for posting this video. A couple of years ago I installed and shortened the blinds to fit my tiny narrow window. it was scary. I did save the directions. about a year before that I had someone install blinds on another tiny, narrow window. Since I was able to successfully shorten the very very long blind on that window I finally decided to tackle this other one. I’m so glad you posted this video because it was so much easier to understand than the directions. I didn’t bother to look for and give me a little bit of comfort while doing so. 😊. I’d post a pic but I don’t see an option and I don’t go on TH-cam that much. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for posting this video. You made it easy for me to shorten my own blinds and it definitely helped that you are left handed as I am too. Have a blessed day.😊
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this video! I can do it now! I knew how to do the corded ones but was clueless on how to do the cordless ones. Big help! Thank you thank you! ❣️
EXCELLENT video. Thanks. The closeups with the camera and the detailed explanations made this easily the best of the few I've watched already. I actually feel like I can do this now, the first time, and get it right.
Thank you for this video! It was a lifesaver. We purchased cordless faux wood blinds at an emporium shop, and they were brandless and discounted. But actually very good quality blinds! However, there were no instructions with them. Your video was instrumental in helping me zip through 11 blinds….and by myself without my husband’s help, to boot!! They turned out perfect 🤩!!
Thank you soooo much! This video was very helpful. I loved the way the person that was holding the camera was asking questions as well. I followed your instructions to the tee which made this soooo much easier and they came out perfect.
The box my blind came in (different brand than yours) said "Length may be shortened" and then the manufacturer failed to give ANY instructions as to how to accomplish this. You have no idea how invaluable this video is to me! Thank you!
This video is HILARIOUS - I LOVE IT! You both seem to love each others company and that is PRICELESS! Thanks for the HELP and for bringing a little laughter to my evening! Take Care!
Hello from Australia. Thank you for this video. My plugs were slightly different but I was still able to sort it out. Very pleased with the results. I don’t know what I would do without TH-cam. I’ve saved so much money!
Very nice video. We just bought some and have to say at least your instructions have words. The newer blinds instructions have no words, just pictures. I am the type who needs to also read something to make sure I am doing it correctly. Thanks again.
This was 1st video that I watched that finally told you that the cords were on tension box in top of the frame and that’s why you needed to make sure not to cut it. Now it makes complete sense to me and should be easy to do. Thanks
Thanks! I think a lot of times people confuse the standard Venetian blinds with the newer cordless ones. Or they don’t want to cut the slats so they can use them as replacements. I *hope* you didn’t cut the tension cord like we did the first time we tried to install these.
This was a great DIY video. Although I had to pause for a while because I had 14 slats to cut to their 5. LOL. My blinds look perfect! Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for this video! The blinds I bought said they could not be shortened,but i didn't believe it to be so.Followed your instructions to a tee and they are now perfect for my windows.Very detailed video and the best one out there.Thanks again for making it simple.
Awesome! We got cordless blinds from HD and they were too long (48 and we need 24 inches) so I will do this! Instructions are good but watching your video really helps with my confidence!
Nancy says thanks :) This video usually gets complaints because “that woman” talks too much. Can’t win them all, I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Nancy
On the wider blinds snap off ends of the slat then snap middle section no scissors needed saves a lot of time. I would also leave one more slat than in video so bottom of blinds will rest on the sill. Great video, also noticed his wife had a lot of good input. :-)
Your story about the first time you tried made me laugh and cry... Because I had the same experience releasing the spring-loaded center cords 🤦🏻♂️ Rather retuning it to Home Depot, I forced myselft to learn how to reassemble the whole thing. And it worked!
THANK YOUUU KIND SIR!!! This saved my day. Was having a nightmare with these blinds and accidentally cut the middle string my first time around 🤣 but managed to resolve it and now I know how to properly do it thanks to your tutorial.
Thank you for showing the details of trimming the ladder and nit the center string. I watched one other video from someone else, and the camera was so far away that it was impossible to see what he was talking about. I appreciate the closeup camera work!
Thank you, with this video I was able to accomplish this! I’m glad I found it because I had just watched one with the corded blinds and would have definitely cut the center string. Very helpful.
Thank you for making this video. I threw away the instructions and cut the tension wire thinking I knew what I was doing, I did not. Your video was so helpful.
Watching this video has really helped me. My blinds are the same ones from Home Depot. I was happy to be able to see all the steps up close. I am going to go and cut the cords now and finish up. Thank-you! 😊
Thanks so much for posting this! The first time I tried to shorten the blind, I cut the middle string and it wound back up so quickly! I was pissed! Now I know! By the way, cutting the slats was sooo easy!
thanks for video. i had trouble holding back the buttons as i tucked the ends back in. never did get the 'twist and tuck' process down, but you guys inspired me to keep at it until job was done. all's well that ends well 👍
Thank you for this great video! Easy to follow along with the explanations and close-ups. You two work well together...reflective of my husband and I. P.S. I don't like my neighbors looking in either. lol
Thanks so much, that made the job a lot easier. Not cutting that first ladder string is really important, because it allows you to push the strings into the bottom rail until they're both tight without worrying about getting them even. And the instructions don't even state that, or at best it's implied in the diagram.
This is really great and helpful. i had to do 7 blinds since they were all way to long , this made it so much easier. Thanks for sharing how you did this technique ~

I just have to say, I loved listening to you two work together. You’re so cute!
Great video. I like how you showed the box. The minute I saw the box I was like....yeah! This is it!!
Thank you! I just purchased these exact blinds. So happy to have found your video. “Don’t cut the middle string” 👍🏿

Nice job. Much clearer explanation than any of the other vids I've watched. Now I feel more comfortable tackling this job.
Excellent, this was so clear! So many other videos left me confused 😕 your video is MUCH APPRECIATED 👏🏽- including your wife, she helped get the questions answered- tell her I said thanks! 😊

You guys are funny. Don't lose your bride she's a gem, very smart and clever too. You work good together
Thanks for the kind words. We like working together; we’ll celebrate our 30th anniversary in January.
Best. Ideo instruction for shortening cordless blinds. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I’ve put off doing this for 3years because I didn’t want to ruin them. 8 blinds, DONE!!

Popping them off is so much better. Thanks for the video. I did all 6 sets from a prior owner that left them so long.
Thanks, this video is so easy to follow and get it right. The wife asked the right questions.
Thanks!
You're so funny, I liked the way you and your wife worked together and you explained very well. Thanks.
Nice and easy now! Mine had instructions but just pictures no words. Great video ❤
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this video! I can do it now! I knew how to do the corded ones but was clueless on how to do the cordless ones. Big help! Thank you thank you! ❣️

Thanks!! Watched another video on how to do it but I was totally confused! You both explained it so well and you are a great team!
All the way in UK.....Greenwich London....this was SO helpful and clear. Ta!
Great vid.... the lady was a BIG help also pointing out important steps👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for this straight to the point, well placed, almost in the room with you guys type of explanation! Appreciate you!
Thank you for these instructions! So much easier and less intimidating than trying to read the instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
We were stumped on the whole trimming the cords thing, thanks for making it clear! Great job, we've subscribed!
Happy to find your video, you explained so clearly. Thank you so much for sharing, you make my job a whole lot easier. Appreciate it!
This video is HILARIOUS - I LOVE IT! You both seem to love each others company and that is PRICELESS! Thanks for the HELP and for bringing a little laughter to my evening! Take Care!
Thanks! Yes, we like each other =) 31 years and counting! Thanks for the support!
Thank you, I’m fixing to cut 2 of the same blinds today. Your video is very helpful.
Good job you made it look so easy you’re the best of all the videos I seen. I hope I can do this too. Thank you.
Thank you so much! So easy to understand! I love the way you two work together! I also have about 10 extra slats!
Thanks for sowing us that. We just bought the exact one. It sure is pretty.👍
BEST demo I found. Thanks so much x
Hello from Australia. Thank you for this video. My plugs were slightly different but I was still able to sort it out. Very pleased with the results. I don’t know what I would do without TH-cam. I’ve saved so much money!

Pretty straightforward, I'll be doing this to two blinds. Thank you! 😎👍🏽
I really appreciate how you explain in such detail. This video was very helpful! I needed to see and hear what you were doing.
This was a great DIY video. Although I had to pause for a while because I had 14 slats to cut to their 5. LOL. My blinds look perfect! Thanks for posting this!

Instructions can make all the difference. I am almost glad mine didn't come with them because I got to see this helpful video instead.
OUTSTANDING video on explaining this. Step by step. Just terrific. 🤙👍👌💯
Awesome! We got cordless blinds from HD and they were too long (48 and we need 24 inches) so I will do this! Instructions are good but watching your video really helps with my confidence!
Thanks for the vid! The Missus seems super sweet and smart too!
I like that Nancy vocalizes her thoughts along the way, because that’s just what I’d be thinking too.
Nancy says thanks :) This video usually gets complaints because “that woman” talks too much. Can’t win them all, I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Nancy

Thank you for making my life easier. It's my first installation with cordless 2" blinds. Easy to follow tutorial.
That's a great video. I really needed to know how to do this. Thank you for sharing.

Now THAT would make a great video!
Someone else is looking for information on fixing the retractable string. Any hints?
Would love to know how you did it. I can't figure out how to get the housing open that holds the tension cords.
Oh my gosh thank you for this video I have these exact blinds and I was so nervous
THANK YOUUU KIND SIR!!! This saved my day. Was having a nightmare with these blinds and accidentally cut the middle string my first time around 🤣 but managed to resolve it and now I know how to properly do it thanks to your tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Thank you guys so much! Got my blinds shortened and looks great! God bless
Awesome video demonstration!!! Thanks for your help!!!

Thank you so much for such a detail setup.
Thank you, love the teamwork.
Thanks!
Thank you for making this video. I threw away the instructions and cut the tension wire thinking I knew what I was doing, I did not. Your video was so helpful.
Happens to the best of us!
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought some of these blinds and have a few to adjust.
Glad I could help!
Ma’am! You should consider having your own channel! All your suggestions are spot on, great job
Lol, this is my channel 😊 My husband helps me and we like working together - married 30+ years. Thanks!
This video was so helpful!! Easy to follow and I was able to get my blinds to the correct length in minutes. Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Good work! Thank you for watching and commenting.
excellent video. So much easier to follow that that Home Depot guy Jay. Thanks. I'll do mine when I get home tonight.
Thanks! I hope you were successful!
Thank you for sharing this information. The directions that came with the blinds were very unclear. This helps a lot!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
BEST VIDEO EVER!! Thank you so much!
Watching this video has really helped me. My blinds are the same ones from Home Depot. I was happy to be able to see all the steps up close. I am going to go and cut the cords now and finish up. Thank-you! 😊

Married 30 years… makes me sound old, lol!
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
Appreciate the video. I had a very short window and neded to remove about 8 slats. Your video made the job MUCH easier. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I just now used a wire cutter. Perfect bite length and easier to control direction. Thanks for the video ✅
Best video on this topic. Thanks
Thank you for sharing now I can shorten my blinds 😊
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
thanks for video. i had trouble holding back the buttons as i tucked the ends back in. never did get the 'twist and tuck' process down, but you guys inspired me to keep at it until job was done. all's well that ends well 👍
excellent. thank you for your tips. It is the best tutorial on how to shorten 2" faux wood blinds. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Your video was very helpful!
Thank you for this great video! Easy to follow along with the explanations and close-ups. You two work well together...reflective of my husband and I. P.S. I don't like my neighbors looking in either. lol

Great how to video. I applicate you guys. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, too!
Just what I needed. Bought different brand and could not understand their directions. Thank You.
