My list gets 2-3 tasks entered for every one completed
I've got the screens replaced, and am ready to install the screen door I bought from Bill. I even got that wooden block to push the awning up so the screen doesn't get hit.
These directions, I don't even understand #2 (not a good sign, I know). And #4 is completely confusing even though there's a drawing.

What is the pull strap end, what is the door check strap? I don't have new door pins or new door trim- do I need these?
I don't have a rivet gun, is this required? ("bend hinge to fit before drilling for rivets")
#13 Why would I attach a cable from the vacuum component door, it is on the opposite side of the hinges and won't I hit my head on it?
Page 3, what?
I feel like a moron trying to follow this.
I believe my coach had a screen door at one time, there's a little nubbin that would be used to grab a roller. Maybe some of these instructions assume I have to do work that's already done? My screen door has hinges on it.
I can get photos later on. I figure I'll start this tomorrow after work when it's in the mid 90s.
And, what are the chances I'll be completely confused and can't do it and have the door off for an extended period of time- it's supposed to rain this weekend?
Thanks for any/all help.
