"You guessed it, with the last  (for the BGE) push the BGE toppled off the roofed porch and dropped around 2 feet into a few shrubs but the major parts nailed the aggregate concrete"

Before you buy another egg you should plant more shrubs under the porch. I'll be honest with you, there was just no way only a few shrubs were gonna catch that egg safely. I have maybe 16 shrubs around my yard and in almost all of them, the birds always make their nests down at the very bottom of the shrubs. Even birds know the tops of shrubs suck at catching falling eggs, and they're all basically living in shrub basements, in case an egg falls out, just to give it a small chance at survival.

Wait a minute ..umm forget growing more shrubs, that takes too long. I'm thinking you can solve this by moving your porch down near the bottoms of your shrubs. Watch out for the birds down there though, if you're in America bring a shotgun, if you're in Britain, bring some tuppence to the old hag on the steps of Saint Paul's, for a bag of crumbs, before you use the new porch.

But...birds aren't real.

I looked at my egg, which has a fairly new screen door now, and compared it to the old screen door. The screen itself is made of a little bigger mesh on new one, as you guys pointed out. My problem is that the overall screen slot dimensions are the same size ... BUT on the newer one, that whole screen cutout is shifted right, (as it sits on the egg) on the metal plate. That means that the left hand screen frame is almost twice as wide as my old one, which means when it's closed it actually blocks a fair amount of airflow on the left side of the hole. In picture comps someone posted above, that's not the case. I wonder if I got wrong door, are there different designs? Can't post pictures ... which would probably help in this case.
