Shopping for the New House, Men’s vs. Women’s Roles: Traditional or Not?

Hi Gang, what’s going on with you today? I have been running around San Diego like a lunatic today. Let’s see, 8am outdoor run and oh my, I needed to put on two shirts, and my hoodie! It was high 50s/low 60s with a fine mist. Despite sleeping 4 hours per night the past 3 nights each, I had a surprisingly energetic run through Balboa Park. It was so good to be back! After that, I was off for the day’s madness.

Please note my Do-It-Herself Hammer. My mom gave me this toolkit called “Do-It-Herself” when I moved out at age 16. I thought it was the dumbest “gift” ever. No, it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever received and my toolkit has been with me for nearly 2 decades, 6 states, and probably 25 addresses.
They are expensive Hard to determine width of each panel of material needed, i.e. do you want it “bunched up” looking when closed or more “smooth” Then you must determine height/length of the panel and it’s placement in the window and where it will hit the ground Whether you are mounting hardware and a curtain rod or using a tension rod
