Today was kinda strange. I had planned ot spend the entire day working on my paper.. but it didn’t work out that way. I got some time on it this morning.. but then we decided to take advantage of the unseasonible warmth to fix a few broken windows in the spare bedroom (strange to call it that because we now we now have 3 spare-ish bedrooms) .. and the two bad breaks in the tower.   There were 3 windows in the spare bedroom. there that had one way or another gotten broken enought to be able to insert a peice of your body through the whole.. not great for dead winter.. While I was in the mood to fix windows, I figured I’d look around for other windows in need of repar.. Beleive it or not, I found 12 window panes thta had some degree of cracking.. none as bad as the aforementioned 5.. 12 broken windows.. sounds like a big deall.. but not when you consider that our house has 530 pains of glass (not counting decorative cubbords or glass in the front of funrinture.. or the yoga studio/garage/lab .. Wait.. now that I think of it, It’s actually 538.. since one of the doors has a window that Sam punched out once when we were goofing around.

Here’s 10 of the broken windows.. the other 2 I forgot to grab pictures of.. because they’re on a bell tower window (and curved – ick)

Diane and I muscled the huge ladder in place and up I went..  the top window I had to replace was about 24 feet up.. Diane looked smaller than ususal

I dug out the old window and   handed it into Diane.. Then cleaned out the old putty..

When they were all cleaned out, Diane handed me out the new glass, and I placed it and stuck it into place withh glazing points.

Finally I squished the putty in .. after I’d wamred it enough to work..

I spent a good hour and a half up at that height.. it was nice and peacful up there… When I came down, we walked up the hill to meet the folks Marcia and Tim wo are buying Justin and Barb’s place. Justin and Barb had a small party for us to all meet the new neighbors.. now that’s a nice seller.. and a nice neiborhood. The new folks are realy nice but//and we’ll miss Barb and Justin.. THey’re not going far, though.

We’ll that’s it for tonight.. back to working on my paper.. More tomorrow… Nite all.. Nite Sam !

Ps. On  the way up to Barb and Justin, Diane spotted this hige spider in the field.. Looked like he was getting ready for winter..
