I`ve wanted screen doors for years.Every year I try to get away with just circulating air with fans until I give in to a/c.I`ve gone all summer w/o a/c(since my wife left),except my son`s room.It`s a sunroom and gets hot w/o it.Although I give in due to moisture more than heat,I still want to get more air through with all the area a screen door provides.I started with the back door rom my laundry room.It`s the morning sun side and the coolest.I blow air from there and up the steps where I pick it up with a smaller circulaor(Patton air circulators(fancy for fan).Yesterday I dug out some 5/4 cedar from the rack,the bisquit cutter,mitre box,weldwood exterior glue,and stainless finish screws and went to town.
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.
