43、creen door.Note that I wrote “wooden”. The aluminum models just wont do itthey close too neatly and keep their perfect form for decades. In the 1960s, a time of imperfection, there was no perfect house, no perfect car, no perfect kids or parents. Why should a screen door be an exception?I grew up wi

I was disappointed in the choices available. They looked a bit too solid, too well made. But I fou
