    Socket Foam - Most Space Efficient?

    Legos are fuggin expensive, and the knock off brands are no where near the quality of name brand Legos. I imagine you could do a lot with wood/plastic stock. Couple of dowels and some drills and Bob's your uncle!

    Shears / snips for cutting "tough" plastic sheets

    I think you would be fine with kitchen scissors, or those ones that cut pennies in half.

    Socket Foam - Most Space Efficient?

    I think you can cut the foam with scissors and remove the really tiny socket cut outs. Then you can put whatever you want in the void.

    Hoping Someone Here Can School Me on Porch Screen

    Yes, noseeums ****! The screen that keeps those out also restricts airflow, raises room temperature, and obfuscates visibility during rain, AND noseeums still find a way in...

    Ratchet repair...or replace it. Raised Panel 1/2"

    I wonder how long before there is an aftermarket repair kit for these old ratchets. There is obviously a market, and the supply is shrinking.

    Hoping Someone Here Can School Me on Porch Screen

    Hoping Someone Here Can School Me on Porch Screen

    I agree, the aluminum screen is a waste of money. What I found matters the most is the size of the squares. Smaller squares keep out more bugs than the larger squares, but they also restrict air flow (your porch will be a few degrees warmer) and when wet you cannot see through them. The larger...

    Hoping Someone Here Can School Me on Porch Screen

    Pictures would help. Is there an aluminum track the screen is held in? There should be a rubber rope in a trough that holds the screen tight by friction if so. You will need a roller and a utility blade as far as tools go... Maybe a pick or flat blade screw driver to remove the old rope.
