Yr 4 - Day 166?: Reviving the porch


Bob, splining machine!











Before (day of viewing Winter '05/'06)


After

So ... it's not all about the garden, believe it or not. Summer project has been to repaint and rescreen the rear porch. Bob and I sanded, replaced rotten parts, primed, painted, installed ScreenTite track system, installed screening using roller and spline. thought we might have to buy a new door but the old one is looking quite splendid with new paint and having vacuumed the screen panels. The ScreenTite system is fab. Large areas are definitely a 2-person job especially if the width you are screening is close to the width of your roll of screen.

We have the other half of hte porch to do and are being thwarted/interrupted by CT's summer of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
