Hi Robert,
Thinking about that problem I have one possibility, assuming that there is
nothing but field to mow. One day, quite a few years ago I was at the local
football field when they were mowing. They had a small tractor towing two
gang mowers cutting about a 15 foot path. They first went
Hey that's an interesting idea. I was thinking something similar but a little
more low tech. Getting a large quantity of clothesline around the perimeter,
and just doing a grid pattern based on that. Eitehr that or getting some
guidance by walky talky.

Hi All,
What truly is the purpose of blinds/ Since I've never had any sight, I
don't actually know, but here are my questions!
We have the sort of blinds that are pulled up and down by strings, can be
opened or closed, by a stick on the blinds, and they're vinyl, I guess, or
plastic!
They
Blinds serve to control light as well as to restrict viewing. Essentially they
serve the same purpose as drapes except somewhat different versatility and
somewhat different appearance.
By altering the angle of the veins of the blinds you can direct light more up
or down and of course raising
There are different types of fasteners that hold the blind in place. We have
two different types and I suppose that there are more. The one has a clip
that was fastened to the window frame and the blind hooks into the clips. to
remove this one you tilt the top back towards the room and it pops
There are the vertical veneation blinds and the roll up window shades. The
latter are spring loaded and can be put up at various stages, but do not allow
for varying the amount of light overall.. As to why cover the windows? One to
block sunlight from coming into the house or prevent
Most of these blinds can be removed simply by pulling out 2 plastic tabs on
the little boxes at the top ends of the blinds and slightly lifting and
pulling towards you. For sighted people, or people who are sensitive to
light, blinds allow the lighting in the room to be adjusted. For example,

Hello,
I've found the verticle blinds easiest to clean. You can usually snap them out
if your carefful.
A curtain would block out some, but I don't think it'd block everything.
Thanks,

Just to reitterate about the accuracy and
repeatability of gps, it's minimum of 30 feet.
If the field is such that missing a corner by that much
doesn't matter, then the system might work.
I'd do my best to try before buy.

Linda,
Blinds do two basic things, keep people from seeing in,
and keep sun out.
What kind you have is your choice. Curtains do much the same thing,
except they can be better at keeping heat out if that's
an issue for you.
Depending on the curtain, they can surely keep people from seeing in.
Hey why don't you look at using shades instead. They are very easy to
take down, really require little cleaning, but along the top edge for
the most part, and they will serve your purpose nicely.

Man you aren't kidding. My wife and I take all the curtains and such
down usually twice a year and man those puppies are really nasty. I
mean just dusty and the like. Partly cause one set of curtains has
these holes all over it, you can't see through them, but that's the
best way I can
A good feather duster will keep your window covers much cleaner. If you get
them clean and then regularly get the dust and other air born debris off with a
good feather duster they will stay clean and nice for much longer. I like a
good ostrich feather one. Though I warn you that your dogs
Ha, an Ostrichfeather duster ay? I'll have to check into that. The
curtains are a bit more difficult to keep up, but we try to remember
to run the vacuum over them which does help a little, but you do end
up washing them.
Thanks for the idea of an Ostrichfeather duster.

Aloha Claudia,
A few thoughts.
I find that the vertical blinds, the ones that run from the top of
the window to the bottom, are much easier to clean. When I first had
mine installed, I rubbed them down with a bounce dryer sheet and
since then, dusting them with something like a wash cloth,
one other idea I have heard is you can spray furniture polish on a dust rag
than just wipe the blades of the blinds and it is supposed to prevent the dust
/dirt from sticking to the blades I did this for a while in another house I
lived in.
best of luck
