Mike,

I'm glad they worked out well. I've been really happy with mine and  
figured others would as well.

protection from no-see-ems really require a different mesh fabric that  
costs a bit more. It's the same type used on tents. If anyone really  
feels they needed a set made from no-see-em mesh let me know.

Also if anyone missed out and would like to get a set, I made a few  
extras.

thanls

I received my Joe Federici-brand Magnetic Front Window Skeeter  
Skreenz(TM)
today and did a trial install. The workmanship is top-notch and they fit
(except for the lower front corner of the windows where the frame gets
kinda curvy -- a couple of neodymium magnet buttons would do a fine  
job of
forcing the screens against the frames there easily).

Can't comment as to whether the fabric has a fine-enough mesh to keep  
out
no-see-ums, not living in that part of the country, but these puppies  
will
do a fine job barring entrance for la mosquitoe who is seeking entrance
through the front windows to find a free snack of mammalian blood for  
her
kiddies.

Joe's Magnetic Front Window Mosquito Screens hereby receive the coveted
