I'm thinking about removing that bottom rail and instead installing flat aluminum stock (1/4" thick by 2" wide) with the screen tucked under so that the tile will now be slightly higher than the new aluminum, allowing the water to flow out. Any thoughts (other than windows)? Thanks! Unfortunately I can't try my "fix" until January when I return.
I finally found the card that a neighbor gave to me after she had lanai drains installed by a guy here in TV.
With all the delete not delete discussion going, I will PM you with the telephone number. (Don't want to upset anybody)
