I replaced a window screen for the first time this morning. I'm not a real "handy" type, but I figured this couldn't be that bad, and whether or not I did a great job, it would certainly be better than the mosquito-attracting tears in pretty much all of our screens. I don't think our new screen could be described as a "great" job, but it should be serviceable, and I'm pretty sure the fact that I pulled the mesh way too tight, and thus have a screen frame that is more saddle-shaped than planar, can be overcome by a simple application of brute force to get the screen to fit into the window frame again. Or maybe I'll be doing this one over again.
So the first screen is done -- eight more to go! Guess I'm going to need to get some more mesh, seeing as I've used up Kirk's entire supply.
