4. Removing Hardware

" So, Brian do I have to take off my window treatment?"

" Yeah, you do. You know what for a couple of reasons. Number 1, we're not gonna get it painted. We don't wanna get paint on it. I mean you're trying to clean paint off of this?"

" Yeah."

" Not a good idea. And also, we're gonna paint the inside of the casing. Now, the reason we do that is to make the room actually feel bigger. A lot of people would stop right here and all of a sudden, then you'll have this big blank. Yeah."

" Yeah."

" So we want there is color, it'll make the room look deeper. It'll also make the window treatments, even though there white, pop off the wall and look better."

" Okay."

" Here's a little secret. We wanna tape-- We don't want these cords all wrapped up and having issues. So, we're gonna just tape this, like so. Come around and that way we're not gonna tangle them. But I like to do is I take my handy-dandy plastic wrap. "

" Okay."

" And this is a really good way of holding the blind together and keeping everything from unraveling and also from getting dirty. So this is a really simple little technique, we do one here. You can actually turn it around, and we'll do the other side."

" Okay."

" Now, the next thing we're gonna do is go ahead and remove the hardware. Now, we're gonna use a cordless drill, and what we wanna do is just very carefully back the screws out. Just like so."

" Then, let me guess. We put it in the bag."

" You know it. Now, we should mark what it is. Let's put right on it."

" Okay."

" Window hardware. Any type of hardware it's always better to move than to work around something `coz you're gonna get much more professional-looking job. Now, will"

" we need to patch those holes before we paint them?"

" Actually, we're gonna use a little trick where we're gonna put a toothpick inside and that will tell us if we wanna save those holes and be able to then snap off the toothpick inside."

" You're using 2 toothpicks just however big is the hole is?"

" In that way also I know that, that is the hole I need to save. Who knows we have some nails, right?"

" Right."

" Well, that's what these tools really designed to do."

" Good."

" It's in the bag."

" That's it, beautiful."

" You're good to go."

" High 5."
