Its lot of sunlight after 2 pm and also to keep the enery bill down
in summer I may need this blinds or shades.
I am thinking of outside mount the blinds with 3/4 inch extending each
side of the windows. Then to use the same custom wooden moulding that
used in the ceiling to hide the tracks. I may need to anchor it to the
wall in 2 or 3 places to provide extra support.
