    Screen door

    Have anyone install screen door for the door to the patio/backyard? Who did you hire to install and how much will it cost? I looked at those from amazon but wasn't convinced that they are durable. And I will need to buy 2 to fit my double French door which may not look nice.

    Furniture store

    We already visited those big name sofa retailer like LA-Z-Boy, Living Spaces, Bassett, Crate and Barrel and smaller ones like Furnishing America, Far below retail. We like the ones at Crate and Barrel but $4000 for a sectional sofa is too pricy. Is there any other stores we should go?
