Sunday night – shattered

Today was a great metaphor for the proceeding week.. .. we’ve had some tremendous windstorms that manage to break out 5 windows.. 4 in the tower and one in our downstairs storm windows. The  ones in the tower were pretty cataclysmic.. the wind actually tore the windows from their mountings and smashed them  The downstairs one was actually a result of falling ice..

All in all I need to replace about 5 windows a year.. so this is par for the course. We have more than 430 panes of glass in this house.. so 1 percent doesn’t sound that bad.

todays repair requiredd cutting curves in glass.. not my strength.. but I managed ot get two out hof 4 trys.


Onther pane just blew out in the wind.. I found pieces of it strewn all over the front yard..

I love glass.. but it dwosn’t like me.. it can cut me from across the room.

first task is to strip out the broken glass and remove the old glazing.. yuck.. what a job


I was batting about 500 on the curve cuts it took me 4 panes of glass to get 2 perfect curves.. oh well, I got them

After the windows were done, I went to Chris’s to pick up his fiberglass freind.. I’m rigging her up with some proximity ligting and sound.

She was good company.. it was fun driving around with half a naked lady in my car.. I got some funny looks..

OK.. it’s sunday night and I’m falling asleep.. more tomorrow…

nite all, nite sam
