a bit more privacy for the ladies
we did install a locking knob set for the downstairs bathroom, the bathroom guests use. but then the city had us clean up the woods between us and the neighbors. we had a new issue, the window by the toilet had a clear view of the neighbor's house.
even the daughter refused to visit the downstairs facilities. the one day, when I was working my brain and trying to come up with a reasonable solution, it appeared via crestview doors facebook page. I exchanged a few emails and placed my order. about two weeks later, my custom cut redi-screen was ready for pick-up!
it really is beautiful, especially the maple frame. it's heavier than I anticipated as well, really solid.
what I didn't realize was, all those holes would be a big PITA to paint. the middle screen section is cut plywood and all the plywood edge was thirsty as sailor on shore leave. I had planned to spray primer/paint... but that did nothing for all those holes (maybe something to consider when selecting a redi-screen pattern), I found that a small foam roller on a J-handle fit in each hole, even the small ones. but it still required several applications. some of the paint globbed up around the openings, I let it all dry and then sanded the face and reapplied paint (two more times)
I installed it on hinges so I can still open it for more light. I may play with the installation so there is less of a gap on the right side (shims and trims). it does provide complete privacy.
Translucent Acrylic acrylic was only an extra $29. I wish it sat flat against the screen but I'm not gonna mess with that at the moment. it's not that obvious when it's closed,
