Jason,

Check out Elliott's hardware store in Dallas on Maple....they have good screen supplies there.

I'm sure Lowe's or HD will have stuff too. let me know how it goes ??? I need one more window done on my house also.

 

damn J - you make me jelous... I cant wait to own a house and start doing projects

 

Fixed..

 

LOL

 

oooh, im gonna check that place out then...

I prefer smaller stores like that, usually they have people that really know whats involved.. ill let ya know how it goes. or maybe you can come over and we knock a few out together, only wanna do like 3 windows for now...if it comes out well, then another weekend ill do the others around the house.


lol.......trust me, home ownership is a lot of work........im all about projects and improving crap..... my best house mod has been my gate....I love it!

check out websites like - garageforums.com, etc......you can get really good ideas..

I built solar screens for three years..it takes time to get good at making them. In theory they are very easy to build but making them look good is tricky. Its hard to explain...im not sure if there are any instructional videos on youtube or anything but I could help you out. You will need to make a temporary table from plywood that is as wide as your widest window which is usually 48". If you have any circle or half moon windows you will need a framebending machine.

 

Awesome I would love the help! whats your schedule like, im was thinking this weekend or the next...Im off on fridays at times too....

yeah i was gonna go purchase a 4x8 sheet of plywood to make a table using saw horses or my picnic table i have.

I do have two half circles but only one i need done for sure sometime soon, so i figured i may have to get that one made sometime..

any suggestion on where to get the parts/supplies?

I no longer have hot pink plates or lug nuts anymore
The car looks like a boy car!!

 

do you at least have the painters tape?...in case in rains...you ARE going to leave that for the next owner no?

 

nope taking it up to the shop tonight to change the oil, put the front emblem on, and fix the wiper hole

I just got done getting my registration and inspection done

still need to wash the exterior but inside is clean though.... its all setting in and i am getting senimental

 

We used to get our supplies from a warehouse near Grauwyler...but it may be wholesale only. I don't know what kind of supplies Lowes or HomeDepot has. The Frame comes in 12 or 14 ft so you will need a big trailer. I'll see if I can dig up the name of that supplier if they are still around. You will need to buy the wood, wood screws, spline, screen, frame, frame corners, and the tabs that secure them to the house. It could get expensive. I know the ins and outs of it though. I can be available for a few hours Sat or Sun afternoon this weekend or next weekend. Next weekend may be better.

 

I wants some solar panels..

 

You two guys should start taking some orders and make some cash on top of doing your own.

I'll put my order in right now: j/K

 

yes let me know what you find out on supplies.....

maybe i can use this weekend to get everything together then we can plan for the next or something?

I have an 18foot trailer, so picking up 14ft frames and such isnt a problem...
