A house, however small, requires maintenance. Window screens, for instance, get brittle and then break in time. If you do not replace them when they so require, you could bring into your home dreadful pests and unwanted insects, deadly mosquitoes, for instance. Unless you could do well the task yourself, it is best you find and hire someone who knows what he must do. Because I certainly do not know how to, I decide to take my two "holey" screen windows to an aluminum and screen workshop. An older man-in-charge tells me how much the cost of the job, and then he makes me wait for the window screens to get changed. With an authoritarian voice, he calls a young man about twenty, who responds to his summon. They confer about the job. The young man then examines my sorry-looking screen windows, and right there and then, he rips out the torn screen from each of the frames. He tosses them under his work table, looks at bales of new screen material, and he picks the appropriate one to use. He measures and cuts just enough of the screen pieces. After that, he fits the frames with just the right size screen sheets. With precision, he inserts the edges with the help of only a "running roller" on hand. I could see that the new screen edges go right into the frame crevices without a fight. He completes the task by securing a rubber cord cushion pressed into the edges and going all around the window framework. In a gif the screen sheets are as snug as they could be. What do you know? Spiff and new, the screen windows are ready to go back where they belong; just like that, the young master worker mesmerizes me with his skill!
