I still haven't put up curtains in my apartment; since I live 14 floors up, unless there's a rogue Superman or Spiderman out there, I'm not overly worried about privacy.
BUT ... there is a wing of my apartment building at a 90-degree angle to the wing in which I live, and some of my neighbours spend long hours on their balcony ... from which they could (if they so wished) see right into my living room/kitchen. So okay, let's get some curtains up on the living room windows.
Unlike other apartments, this one didn't come with curtain rods already in place, left there by a former tenant. I decided to opt for the kind that don't require screws ... you just twist them to "lock" them in place. I have no plans to put up heavy velvet curtains, so they will do.
I measured the window and went out and bought the curtain rod.
However ... I don't know WTF I did wrong, but the rod, even extended to its fullest, is at least four inches too short ...
AND of course I can't find the receipt. I will probably take it back and ask if they're willing to let me exchange it for a larger one ... if they even HAVE a larger one ... but won't bet the rent money on it.
Wish me luck.
