Scrubbin'

I got home tonight and had to scrub some cement pavers for work, (it's a long story.) I had my stiff bristle brush and a big tub of warm soapy water out already, so I decided I might as well scrub the screens for the house while I was at it.
There are currently 23 screens for the house. They were all absolutely filthy. Moss and lichens were growing on the fuzzy weather stripping on the ones from the north side of the house. I honestly don't think some of them had been off and cleaned since they were installed.
Out of the 23, 4 are distinctly different in make than the others. All of them need new fuzzy weatherstripping. The 4 are part of a group of 8 I have identified as needing some repair to the screen it's self. Some are as simple as bird holes, (perfectly round holes where the screen has been pushed aside, usually around the center of the screen,) but some are complete re-screens. Luckily, Koopman's down the road re-screens windows.

The 8 that need a little (or a lot) of love.

The rest, drying out in the shed.
