broken window update

I was getting very fed up with the 3 planks of wood that covered the hole where a window should be but I had looked in the shed and no pieces of wood large enough, then after some very strong gales when I had a wonder around to see if things were alright I found the gales had delivered a piece of wood that was plenty large enough and suitable for my hole where a window should be, so I took off the planks and the beading to get all the glass out and cut the wood to fit, I have slapped some paint on the outside but left inside as it is only a temporary fix……..


I started to write this 2 weeks ago and I have just realised it’s over 2 weeks since I posted, well on the Wednesday (over 2 weeks ago) the door window was finally measured by the glazier and he said he would order the glass when he got back to the office, they do not keep opaque toughened glass on the island so it has to be ordered from the mainland which takes 2-3 weeks, hopefully it is or will soon be on the island, then when the glazier gets time he will fit it but they are very busy so I am not holding my breath but hope it is done this year……

Perhaps you could install a flat-scren TV instead. It would probably workout cheaper and faster, but weatherproofing maight be a problem. Don't forget to breath from your abdomen!
