It was a breeze, and they all looked uniform and great, no thanks at all to the skill of the carbon based life form operating it.

When I was done, the BH was disassembled and greased / oiled. Doesn't make it any quieter.
Nope, cleaning, oiling and greasing them doesn't quiet them down. But I don't mind, I think the clatter kind of goes with the things.
When I read what you did with the curtains my wife had one of those "duh ... I never thought of using a button holler for curtains" look on her face. Thanks for the idea.
