A few weeks ago my friends dog ripped up the screen on my storm door.

Today I got replacement screen and installed it into the existing frame.

Nice. Screen doors are one of those things I’ll only remember to fix when looking at it, then immediately forget when I look away.

There are protective bars you can purchase to prevent that from happening again. May be with it just to save yourself the effort in the future.

Next time it happens, hardware stores sell all the parts to make custom-size frames and screens. Waaay cheaper than pre-fab ones.

Made new ones for our house when we first moved in. Easy DIY project, and so very satisfying.

It’s not prefab I got raw screen pulled out the ripped one and used the original frame. Total cost was like $35 and I have enough material to repair any others I find.

Re-screening windows is one of those things that once you get the hang of it’s surprisingly easy. And super satisfying when you roll the last cord in and all the wrinkles disappear.

But it doesn’t work : the screen doesn’t show anything.

It’s hard to tell with these brightness settings but it’s showing you grass.
