lived here 21 years, mowed this fence line damn near every week (it would seem ) first time I've caught fence with the deck, pulled wire out like a zipper.

Don't feel too bad about the fence. I've been mowing this yard for a decade and have never thrown a rock into the window. My wife said she would mow but was afraid of breaking a window. I told her it would be fine if you blow the grass away the first few passes. She was still hesitant so I said I'd do it. First pass, boom.

I took out the full view storm door glass on my front door with the weed eater tossing a projectile. Broke as a joke when it happened, there is a lot more glass there when it’s in more than one piece……

I'm thinking the shop vac might be the ticket for the removal of the itty bitty glass cubes or just put down a tarp and start knocking them out. I'll probably have a single pane there for a few months lol

I have one window on my house the same way. The previous owner had done it. When we bought the house I said that I would take it to my sub to have it fixed… still sitting there haha

Once the structure is lost it will drop,
I was going to try and pull the whole frame out, it dropped and scattered. 72x32 tempered glass, makes quite a pile.

I took out the first pane in a double pane sliding glass door on my sun porch from 40' away with a rock. Wouldn't you know that it missed the lattice that was in front of it. Because it's the unheated sun porch, I'm not worrying about it

That's about the same size as this. I guess I'll do the tarp method

wonder if you could stick some film/tint on it, to hold it together until you get a replacement? I know the gas has likely leaked out, but still feel like it is better insulated than a single pane.

Thought about that also but I'm pretty sure if it even touch it, it's going to look like an avalanche lol. The actual hole where it got hit gets about 50% bigger every day. A single pane is better than cardboard is now my line of rationale.

I had to change out a window insert in my neighbor’s back door to the house. A hammer was used to unlock the deadbolt in an emergency and the entire double pane just cracked into tiny pieces, but they were still holding together. I applied some of that film insulation and it was the balls! Apply double stick tape around cracked window. Stick plastic film to tape. Use heat gun to shrink plastic film. Repeat on other side. It kept everything nicely contained.
