I have never heard of anyone wanting to have blackout curtains in their living room. People usually want their living rooms as bright as possible - especially if there is a lot of natural light to be had in the daytime. Who wants a drab, dark, dreary living room? Is Tater afraid of people seeing him in there? Does he have to hide?
Honestly - how long have they been in that fixer-upper now? Five or six months? Exactly how long does it take to hang some curtains? You would think that they would want to get that job right away; it's not exactly hard. I guess if you have to "cruise" to Nassau every other weekend, there isn't much time for curtain hanging.
Also, I might be wrong, but I thought I remembered reading a while back that sis and BIL left Florida and moved to New York around the same time Casey moved in with Kyle. In fact, I thought that was one of the main reasons she moved in with him - she no longer had the apartment to fall back on. However, now it sounds like he sister and brother-in-law are back in Florida. I wish someone would spill the tea on what happened there. Strange that they have never once been to see the new fixer upper. In fact, Kylie won't even mention their name. At least Casey seems to have maintained some semblance of a relationship with her sister - although this is the first time she has mentioned her in months.
