> Did the job by hand, with nothing more than a pair of sizzors,

> I just cut the old screen away from the zipper, then pinned
> the the screen into position, smoothing it out as I went, then
> sewed it to the edge by hand.
> Nothing to it!
> It took a couple hours.  I sat on the edge of the upper bunk
