waxman Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i finally finished the screen door i made for my sisters 1920"s house.I installed it a couple of weeks ago, got lucky and did not have to sand off any of the finish. Was worried though being 300 miles from my house. I think it looks vintage enough.Her neighbors sure did like it. Thanks to all that answered my post.It took me quite a while to start this project for fear of failing.I am happy with the way it turned out,but dang i think i will just watch the grass turn brown for a while. joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexWood Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Beautifully done. I can see that a lot of time went into the design and materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMarcel Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Really well done; love the arc and the mesh on a diagonal. Looks solid without looking "heavy". Is the yard your yard or that of the client? Nice yard, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
