Horrorhor

We have nice aluminium doors with glass, and as an extra a mosquetera: another set of alu doors with a grille at an angle to keep the sun out, and mosquito netting to keep the mosquitos out. The mosquito netting was rather holey. The netting is kept in place with aluminium strips that are screwed onto the door with little screws. Nice construction, for easy replacing of netting.

Well… engineer Jansen has been at work all morning on two doors, as the screws were all corroded. He cunningly used his spraycan of WD40 to eeeeasily loosen the screws. Damn! Blast! etc. 

Holey mosquetera!
Probably a tiger.
Could have lost my leg!

One done, one to do

Moving to Aargh 13 - Fly screens

We don't seem to have many mosquitos here, but there definitely are flies. 

Kitchen, upstairs bathroom, and downstairs wc, now have nice aluminium fly screens, crafted by engineer Jansen himself.

The downstairs wc screen has aluminium mesh, as you can reach it from the street, and the window is large enough to climb through! Don't want that.


The kitchen window has two large panes that swing open to the outside.  Chose to restrict that to the space between window and screen.
