I decided to install the screen door today. The process had some disappointments. First of all I discovered that all the sanding I did wasn't necessary. The instructions described a requirement that simply wasn't true. Then I discovered that the kit was missing one piece. It was a trim piece that isn't really necessary, but it would make things look better. Oh well.
The install was really a two person job. Ellen really helped in a couple of places.
When it was finally finished it worked well except that you can't latch the screen from the outside. The inside latch is way small.
So we went to McCoys to find a different latch. They didn't have anything appropriate, but we got something that might work. Then we went to the Dripping Springs HEB to get a couple of items. We also stopped to run the dog at the park behind the store. She did a respectable number of retrieves given how warm it was.
Then it was home for the rest of the day. I just didn't feel like doing any more work on it today.
