Your daughter is lucky to have you, and now I am too thanks to your generous sharing- Thankyou 😊. It’s good to see an easier way to remove the window screens for cleaning too- instead of my usual wrangle struggle. Yay now my windows will always be clean 🎉❤😊.

[@InspireDIY]

That’s a kind thing to say Jo, sounds like you have added another job to the ‘to-do’ list😂 Kent

[@michaelpham2221]

All your videos that I have watched so far have been on point and exactly what I needed. At first I thought I could relate because I'm also an Aussie but I soon realised it was because everything in my house needs work! Hahaha thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us DIY noobs out 👍

[@InspireDIY]

Haha! Michael I feel the same way, my list of things to fix grows faster than I can repair them🤔. One thing at a time I reckon - the house isn't going anywhere 👍Kent

[@michaelpham2221]

@@InspireDIY your video makes it seem so simple you inspired me to get to it. I've been sitting on insect screen repair and window frosting job since forever. I finally got it done tonight after watching your video! Thanks a ton 👍

[@InspireDIY]

Good stuff mate👌 well done

[@anon6056]

Thank you so! Much! This is exactly the tutorial I needed and will help me so much. I didn't know its called spline or that I can reuse it. I know what I'm doing now

[@InspireDIY]

Well done mate, take the rest of the day off - you’ve achieved enough 👍 Kent

[@beazleteats4031]

G'day from a sunny Sydney. What an informative video. Thank you. I now know I'm doing next weekend!

[@InspireDIY]

Thanks for the comment Beazle.. let us know how you get on👍 Kent

[@beazleteats4031]

Inspire DIY thx mate...I’ve done it before but what I learnt from you is to buy that plastic roller...will make it far easier....I used a screwdriver before and it took much longer than if I had the right equipment.

[@jd.nguyen7470]

Great video! Thanks :)

[@InspireDIY]

Hey JD, thanks mate, appreciate it🙂🙂Kent

[@mikebrooksau]

Thanks - this helped me 👍

[@InspireDIY]

Hey Mike, I’m glad it was helpful mate🤙 Kent

[@michelletom6139]

Great video - any tips on how to keep the mesh tight as you put the spline in? Or do you even have to? Thank you!

[@InspireDIY]

Hey Michelle, so long as you can keep the mesh square to the frame, the spline pulls the mesh taught as you roll it in, normally start on a long edge. Best of luck, Kent

[@princesidhu9879]

Solved my problem

[@InspireDIY]

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know👍 Kent

[@mikew2095]

Another kiwi in QLD eh mate! 😜 Is it GC or Bris you’ve also settled? It’s always one the other - and can tell in an instant the tree species in background 😜 Only problem is now mate, we are being outnumbered by these Melbourners coming up now - they’re ruining QLD to what it was!

[@mikew2095]

Also - we never had to put up with any these screens back in NZ either huh! 😂

[@InspireDIY]

Hey Mike, yeah I hear ya , if it’s not a kiwi it’ll be a Sydney or Melbourne import here on the GC All the best mate🤙 Kent
