Something for the garage smokers

[Shooter]

I happened across this in the new issue of "Family Handyman" It is a screen door for your garage. It looks to keep bugs and no-seeums out. Mine turn your garage into a pleasant smoking room. Then again what garage isn't full of tools?

Interesting. But when I smoke in the garage, I find that the only bugs that make it in are moths and the occasional beetle. I have not yet had a problem with skeeters or yellowjackets. Maybe folks further south of Delaware would benefit more.

I wish I had one when I first moved in my house. Literally you could see a cloud of em coming from the bushes in the back yard and you would be lucky to get no less than 10 bites in 5 mins if you went outside after 7pm. Lots of bug spraying and brush clearing, over 3 yrs. have virtually eliminated them. Then my garage was empty, now it's full.

A bunch of people around here have wood framed inserts like that installed. Especially people living near waterways.

I just wish I had a garage!

*sigh*

Life is funny that way, isn't it.

The bane of my yard is a woodchuck that just wouldn't stop digging under my front porch. I have the criss-cross lattice across the front and sides of the porch bottom but the bugger had managed to pull apart the lattice and dig cat-sized holes in my garden. Recently, I started pounding stakes into the ground to reinforce cinder block edging to deter digging and ripping.

Well, my porch looks like crap now but that damned chuck is finally shut out.

I had suggested to my wife that perhaps we should just leave a rear corner open so it could do whatever it wanted to do anyway but she wasn't too hot on that idea. And so war it was.
