We had this blizzard on Wednesday, and I stayed home from work because it really was lousy weather. Somewhere in the middle, the wind was strong enough that it broke out a window in my workshop. (It was gusting to over 100mph, and because of snow and ice accumulation there were a lot of tree branches coming loose.) I managed to patch the window in the snowstorm, and today I went out trying to find new glass for it. The window is 40 inches wide, a single pane of glass, and all the glazier's putty and points were missing on one end (which is probably why it broke.) As I found today, it is surprisingly hard to find a place that is both open on the weekend and carries glass that wide. Everyone has 36" or meter wide. I found a place out in Commerce City that is open tomorrow, but my attempts today were futile, so the shop gets plywood fake window for another day.
