    I have a 72" custom interior-mount wood blind that's fighting me. The problem is getting the brackets installed flush to the corners of the window frame -- can't get the drill in there properly. If anyone has experience installing these, I will gladly compensate!

    in a similar situation, I had to buy an old-fashioned egg-beater style drill to get in there. An Ace hardware will have one. Doubt if Home Depot will. I'd loan you mine, but it was many years and 3 houses ago, don't know where it went.

    Not sure if Home Depot sells this, but they have flexible extension drill-bits.

    Might help when you are trying to drill in places that are pretty tight.

    Or you could rent a right-angle drill from HD
