John,
Thanks for the idea, I will look into it. But there are too few times I would open windows and not use air conditioning. My bedroom and most of my house does not have much in cross ventalation to catch a breeze.

Rich,
As you know, locks are for honest people and screens are for insects too big, But thieves and insects find ways to enter.

Hi Bruce,

They sell up here a door hanging mosquito net. Sort of like two pieces of mosquito netting hanging in the doorway which overlap each other by about a foot (or more). Very effective. The sides and top are fixed to the door frame. Would you be able to find down there Velcro in a roll and about 3/4″ wide? Maybe a marine supply place. The hooked part makes a great method for attaching screening and makes it easy to remove too. Just attach the hooked part of Velcro to the door or window frame (glue or self-adhesive)and stick the screening too it (nylon mesh screening).

John,

I have thought of adding screens to some of the windows. I cannot add a screen door since I have so little room, if the car is parked, I would not be able to swing a screen door out. In my bedroom, we have what could be described and tall french window/door and there is no place to put that in and be able to open.
When we someday buy or build a more modern house, you can be sure screens will be included. Then only the tiny flies and mosquitoes will get in.

Hi Bruce,

Wow! Your lows are our highs! Amazing when you think about it. One question – why don’t you put screens on the windows?
