It has being a long time since I post up DIY entry! I meant real DIY not this type of DIY ( which is most enjoyable. Poke in & have a look. He! He! )! 
This is my house front door. It is 'protected' by an aluminium grill with integrated mosquitoes netting. The original netting is made of fibre, grey in colour. However it doesn't last. So I have it changed to wire netting & hope that it last longer. Yes it did last longer but because my my dam cat it just last for about 2 years. So with all the cat's tear on it I have to change it.
First u got to remove the aluminium grills. It is not difficult just remove 12 screws only ( it depends on how it is being fitted but it is more or less the same ) inside the grills. U can also just remove & replace the mosquito net without taking down the grills but u need a chair to do it & more troublesome to do. So I prefer to take down the grills & change the net on the floor. As u can see from the pic the net got a few tear, a big wan near the lock. I have being wanting to change the mosquito net for quite sometime but always have not time for it. Cum night time I get poke by a few hundred mosquitoes ( so I can forget about pokeing in the living room )!
The mosquito net is secured to the grills by a rubber tubing. Just pull out the rubber tubing & the old net will cum out! Next line up the new net ( I bought the whole roll as it is cheaper & u can use it to replace all netting ) then u slowly poke in the rubber tubing. I just poke in just deep enough to secure the net to the grills in all direction, only then I poke in fully the rubber tubing while I can also 'adjust' the net so that it is tight in all direction. I use a flat headed screwdriver to poke in the rubber tubing.As shown in the pic below I only cut off the excess net when I have secure the net to the grills.
After changing the mosquito net I just fitted back the aluminium grill. By doing DIY I did save a lot as mosquito net cost Rm1.50 per square feet if change by the pro, so a 8x10 feet's will cost u Rm120, but the whole roll of nets only cost me RM90 ( & also I can change a lot of mosquito net with the exces ).

To be a upright lenient being is to from a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust unsure things beyond your own restrain, that can take you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty thither the prerequisite of the honest life: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very item beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
