On tv, you just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and grab an attractive
wood screen and put it up, presto changeo. *In real life, I've looked

So, I guess I have to make my own. *I got a book to see how this

I don't have much in the way of wood working tools. *In the past
when I wanted to make something, say a raised flower bed or a
shelf, I would go buy 2Xwhatevers and ask them to cut one or two
in half, or to a length. *

Question, how far can you go with this? *Can I go to the lumber yard
and say I need 10 boards cut to 36 inch lengths, 20 other boards cut
the same way, whatever? *Or are they going to say, lady, we're not
a hobby shop. *Cut your own wood. *(laugh) *What's the deal? *

Thanks.
