I do EMPATHIZE. Not having screens in your windows by GODDAMN SEPTEMBER means it must be pretty ripe at Chez Jonsey. But I'm a guy, so I express my concern for your well-being through trying to help solve your problem! Also, I think we can all agree by now, I might be better named "The Giant-Asshole Engine".

So here we are. You CAN have all the joys of en-screened windows! We have provided you the knowledge to purchase, assemble, and install these screens WITHOUT having to resort to the shifty-eyed Laboring Classes!


WE BELIEVE IN YOU.

Oh, I'm not paying for the screens, Flack. We call that move in this industry a "slam and bang."

How 'bout a smidge of respect for the guy who pays for all this, eh?

I have already asked you to explain your problem, and I suggest everyone else quit responding until he answers the following questions:
  1. Where exactly, at what location, are the screens located?
  2. What exactly is the size, or what is the approximate size?
  3. If that is an approximate size, why can't an exact size be given?
  4. What was the method used to install the screens, and why can't that be reused?
  5. How many need to be replaced?

Thanks for your confidence in my window skills, but that was actually happiness engine lol

My windows need work badly and 2 of them I had to make wood patches for to fill in space due to the house settling.

Yeah, Jizz is right, you can push out the screens from inside and then turn them 90 degrees and that way fit them inside. It sounds like the frames aren't the issue so you just need the screen material which comes in rolls at Lowes/HD/TrueValue/etc. for about $20. Should come with what I just learned is called "New York Wire". You'll need a "spline roller" which costs about $5. Cut the screen about to the right size, lay over the frame with the groove up and then use the spline roller to press the new york wire into the groove, thus catching the screen inbetween. Make sure to pull the screen tight as you do this. If you need new frames, they're sold separately and you'll need a hacksaw and a tape measure. Hard part will be snapping them back in from the inside but Jizz's directions sound spot on.
That's the hard part? Not growing 1,000 mile long arms?

I don't think you should be installing window screens in space. I know this community is, shall we say, NOT GREAT at home improvement.

Is there something WE can do to help you with your space-screens?

Call Lowe's or Home Depot. Ask for anyone except the people Pinback wants to sue.

Paul brings up a good point that may have slipped past you. Have you tried Googling it?

It's in a different state!!!!!
How big is your house if some of the windows are in another state?

Why don't you tell us the whole story? You'd get better answers.
