Mostly, I cut fabric on my cutting table. Occasionally, I cut paper, photographs and even ribbons or things like that. This week, my table got called up for a home repair job. I had to come up with a way to elevate the door so I could rescreen it because I can't do it on the floor any more.

After measuring both, I discovered that the door would fit on the table so that's where it went.







At first, I tried something called "Pet Screen" which is a heavy polyester. You can see it in the picture. It fights every step of the way when you try to put the spline in place and seems to get thicker and stiffer the more you work on it. I gave up after about a day and a half. Ugh. Then I got some regular aluminum screen. I zipped the spline in place in no time.

Before I could place the screen in the door, I decided it was looking a little scruffy so I scrubbed it and sanded it and then re-stained it.







I also got some hardware cloth to protect the lower third of the door from curious poking noses and impertinent paws. I'm very happy with the way that turned out too.







I still have to do the other one, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow.
