My husband and I are making changes to our house. We bought it in an "At is" state, and have slowly made changes over the years. This year, we're screening in the back patio. Our goal is to have it done before Hurrican Season.
I wanted to hire a contractor and pay to have them do all the work. My husband said, "No, don't do that. I can do it for a lot less."
Now, has my husband ever screened in a patio before?
No.
But, he said he'll learn as he goes.
Uh, huh.
His plan is to build a block wall about 2 - 3 feet high all around the patio with concrete.
Has he ever done masonry work before?
Nope.
But, he said he'll learn as he goes.
Uh, huh.
Do you think we'll be done by Hurricane Season?
Well, we have two months. That should give hubby plenty of time to get the block wall finished so I can bring in professional screeners to finish it up.
You didn't think I was going to let him do everything by himself, did you? We compromised. And, he agreed, when it comes to screens, let the pros handle it.
After the screening is finished it get to replace my sliding glass doors with French double doors. One double pane of glass, with the blinds in between the glass. I can't wait.
Who's going to put in the double doors? We haven't agreed on that yet.
But, we will. I'll keep you informed.
