Removed 23 of the 28 screens from the screened-in porch, preparing for it to be sanded and stained. Each screen is held in with four strips of wood, each of those held in with three screws. I quit when my back started hurting more than I wanted to deal with, I'll take out the remaining five screens tomorrow.
A bunch of the screw holes had been stripped over the years so today included drilling out the stripped ones with a 3/16 bit, filling with a bit of 3/16 dowel glued in, and then a pilot hole drilled for the wood screw to follow.
I really love my battery electric drills and drill driver about now.
