Vicksburg, MS -- The assurance of a Home Depot employee that re-screening a porch "isn't that hard" and "anybody can do it" proved false last week for a couple from Vicksburg. Armed with a crow bar and a staple gun, the "quick-fix" job quickly turned to a two-day disaster, filled with obscenities that offended neighbor-children and a few cuts and bruises for the homeowners. Today, the porch is repaired, but visitors are asked not remark on the wrinkle folds that appear near the top of the screens. The next time the couple encounters a Home Depot assistant who offers words of encouragement, they vow to turn the other way and run in search of the nearest contractor.
