A New Screened Room!

When we rented Casa de Carolina last year we kept on thinking over and over again that the covered porch spaces needed to be screened.  The jungle has many insects, among them mosquitoes.  In order to be able to enjoy the covered outdoor spaces – screening seemed like the perfect solution.  We actually ended up asking the new owner if we they would allow us to pay for the improvement.  The owner wisely agreed.  After all as a landlord he is receiving both rent and a paid upgrade.

We arrived in El Remate to a finished screened porch on the second story.  This space is now my office space and where we spend all of our time when we are here.  Cost of materials and labor – about $230USD – no mosquitoes and able to sit outside in the evening --- priceless!
