This is the “before” view of the back patio taken on the eve of the beginning of construction on a screened enclosure. Verna and I thought about it for a while and decided that this would be a good, if not necessary, improvement.
First of all, it would keep the dogs, Bear and Cabela, from wandering off. We currently have to keep the little one on a leash, or she will give chase to every bird, rabbit and squirrel that frequent our back lot. Conversely, it keeps most critters out. Neighbors have reported rattlesnakes and Gila monsters in the area, so keeping those out of the patio seems to be a real good thing, not to mention insects.
I should be able to post a photo of the completed enclosure next week. Click on the image to enlarge.
