HGTV sucks

A few weeks ago, I was here with no TV. But, I had the internet. So, I did what any sane person would do. Hulu.

There is this nifty program, Dear Genevieve on HGTV. I watched this one episode where she turned this basement into an awesome space and turned the patio into another room by adding a cute mosquito curtain to the underside of the deck. It was great and totally something I could do here, right?




I like my house and this patio, even if it is a little barren right now. It would be awesome if we could come out here at night and not get eaten by gargantuan Florida style mosquitoes. Right? Well, I priced the mosquito curtains that supposedly any person could apply to their house in a three day weekend.

You ready?

$525 for 6 panels that will end up covering 36 linear feet of my patio.

Maybe it's just me because I'm super cheap (stop with the easy jokes, will ya?) but that seems awful expensive for a few pieces of sheer fabric that I have to install (okay, who am I joking? We all know it will be Jaysen). Maybe I'll shop around and find an acceptable substitute. In the mean time, do you have any ideas?

Bug spray. :)

p.s. Have I mentioned that I miss you?! I didn't even get to say goodbye! But I hope you're loving it out there.
