Screen Door Project

I’m going to tell you how you can construct an inexpensive screen door with looks equal to a $500 screen door. This article is based on experience and it will guide you through each step.

The Background:

My wife recently asked me to go buy a screen door to fit on the door leading into our back yard.

Also we were getting lots of flies, moths etc coming in if we left the door open.
