update: paint shop window shards
Neither insignificant nor earth-shattering sum for all needed renovations/repairs to paint shop / house… a year from now. Suspect they’re still making up from the storm that blasted through here in June and the many many houses that needed new roofs and new, well, everything. Fortunately, showed me how to repair or at least temper the expansion of the crack in the six-foot window. Stress fracture caused it and I’m 99% certain of what caused the stress fracture: accursed ivy got under the window sill and grew very, very large. And caused much stress.
