You have to go get all the crap and then do it....thats at least an hour for 2 screens.

I'd much rather pay 60$ and make one phone call to a mobile window guy for 2 screens..thats just me though...I'm not into spending an hour or two, going to home depot , and messing with it to try and save 20 bucks.

again, just me and I am old now. 20 years ago i would spend 5 hours to save 20 bucks
I could make 24 screens in half a day for $300. Once you have the tools which only involves a hack saw and the spline roller you have them forever. That's just me though as a landlord , I have to cut costs wherever I can.
