It`s all fitted up and ready for screen and screen stop.I`ll need a grate on the lower 1/2 due to cat claws.I guess I can fix the weatherstrip now and the screen door will protect that.That`ll be nice next winter.
Time to go buy some hinges,handle,and grate material tomorrow.I have two other doors to do,hopefully this year.  |
Looks good en Square Tim,, It remeinds me of all the ones I opened and shut as a kid .. Now mine and most everyones is metal out here ,,I can say that I never built a screen door..
Are you fixing things up to sell ? I remember you saying you might go up on some mountain .. I am getting the itch to sell out and go some where that is sunnier and not so much pollen ..
