Thanks so much for making this video!! Excellent!! If screens are meant to be removed for the season, I’d imagine use of date nails on both the screen and window frame would be very useful to assure that the correct screen returns to the right window. Maybe oil-based semitransparent stain instead of paint? Semitransparent stain will never peel like paint does. I use UV window film on vintage windows which prevents ~70% of thermal loss/gain, it’s virtually clear so it maintains vintage aesthetic. Thanks again for the video!

Wow! For starters, I am super-impressed! I like the way you explain (with great terminology!), the various steps, and the unavoidable ad-hoc (as old buildings are never square)! You also present your video in a fashion that is fun, even to the newest newbie! And oh! I too, re-used my original 'cleats' that were already on the building! Great work. You better bet, smashed BOTH the Like and the Subscribe buttons!

This house is early 1900s and newly approved Historic District and I need a live in handiman. I like to do this type of work but am overwhelmed with a house abandoned for 30+ years

The treated decking is pine boards? Do you only use it because it’s thicker? All other google discussions talk negatively about using the treated pine boards. Thoughts? I would like the screens to last longer than my life or at least another 100 years.

Thanks for the great video. I especially appreciated with how to treat the slope on my window. Now to remember how to calculate that. . .

OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO GLAD I WATCHED UNTIL THE END 🤣 Thanks for helpful video! I have 20 windows in my home built in 1927 and 16 of them do not have a screen. 🤪

Put your order in with him.. don’t forget that the old screen was real metal which is why it lasted so long.

You might consider the storm windows for the historic homes in the colder weather, or making the storage rack to store the windows screen & storm during seasonal change

This video is wonderful! This is the first video that came up in my search, and It is exactly what I need to re-create the screens on my 100 year old house. I really appreciate your straightforward explanations of the whys and hows of your process. I have an issue that I need help with. My windows are all the beautiful old original windows and I love them, however they no longer open. I don't mind, and frankly I can't afford to have them fixed even if I could find someone to do it. Because I can't open them, I can't unlatch the screens. That's okay if they are damaged getting them off from the outside, since I'm making new screens anyway. However I need a new way to secure the screens at the bottom from the outside since the windows don't open. Do you have a suggestion on how to do that?
@aml57864 ай бұрын
Why do you want to do screens when your windows don’t open? Perhaps learn how to get your windows open first?

My screens and shutters rotted after 45 years. Redoing them now, 17 windows. If they last another 45 years, I will be 115. Planning to make the last by regular maintenance. Just built the last one. Have been through hurricanes! I like strong shutters. Now I see your Video! LOL! My house has been here 109 years, hand built by a man born in 1861, and his son. Everything fits together perfectly. Cypress outside, red pine inside. It ages red.

Does that lower quality wood remain stable over time? Do you ever mortise and tenon them for a stronger joint? I just restored my windows after 193 years and they are in great shape. Amazing how well long leaf pine holds up and good joinery.

A Lower quality,” wood,” Be to make them out of spruce. I have made them with mortise & tenon joints before. It is after all just a window screen.

You can use bronze screen anywhere anytime; And you can paint it if you desire with a screen painting pad or spray.
