The window crack we discovered in the fall. I started making phone calls about it, but not finding someone to fix or replace it. And then a busy fall, winter began, and travel and travel, and then… pandemic.

Power wash
My fantastic blessing of a BIL came by of a Friday evening to power wash my place.
