Default easy enough to do yourself

I just rebuilt a screened in (16X16) porch and was amazed at just how easy it was.
The only mistake I made was not getting thick enough spline material the first time.
I’d recommend the much thicker pet screen; metal screen is ok but much harder to work with.
I cannot recommend anyone as I tend not to spend money when I can do it myself. I's amazing what you can learn from watching other contractors.
Rebuilt my porch replacing decking, posts and screen. Everything but the roof.
I helped a builder replacing windows, now I don't have to pay someone to replace mine. They are on the schedule for next month.
