  • Definnetly get those mounts butt up against each other. Depending on what hardware is up in the blind track ( and it looks like the where set right with the adjusters to the outside ) you may be able to take a hack saw and trim the track just slightly like even a 1/16th off each end will end up getting that gap down an 1/8. Etc etc. Or you may be able to find a center style mount for a long single blind set up. And get the two ends in there instead of two end caps. It seems excessive BC there will always be some small gap.











  • The only quick fix here is getting a good floor fan and put it at the top of the stairs. If i understand correctly using a fan for circulating air should be done by pulling the air (ie setting it at the top of the stairs) rather than close to the mini split and blowing the air where you want it. Running the exhaust fans should also help to do this exact thing by pulling the hot air out of the ceiling areas and allowing the cooled air from other rooms to enter the bedrooms









  • And the more you open up to fix the more systemic problems you find. In an old/fixer house. Try to pick one project at a time. Spend some money when u have too. Have seen some smart people locate home improvement grants for upgrades/HVAC. You’ll need to spend money. No avoiding it. In a couple years you’ll forget how bad it all seemed and get used to the minor annoyances you haven’t gotten too. And don’t forget to learn some things. Buy a bug pump sprayer and specific chemicals on line. Learn how important gutters are and getting storm water away from the foundations. Get some rugs to cover the gaps and caulk the cracks. Most importantly A good partner for the decorating to make u forget it’s a shitty house no matter how much work you put in

    To answer your question I just drink a lot.
