The ShdeNoMore 9000 is a product designed to make being lazy look cool. Featuring IR receivers like the ones in TV's, you can close and open your curtains using a remote! It's designed to be a household item, featuring common AA batteries. It's also designed in a way where you can put two halves of a design onto each slider piece, and when the product fully closes, it'll connect together and make the piece whole!
