Can you see that top window? Well, it's shattered and it happened all by itself this morning with no one even in the same room! Hubby was taking a shower and I was downstairs quietly sitting at the computer when I heard a big crash.


My first thought was that Jack had knocked something over. I looked in every room and didn't see anything out of place. I asked DH if he heard anything and he said "yes". I told him I couldn't find Jack and he told me that Jack was outside on the deck.

So, I looked on the deck and there was Jack looking up at the broken window. I thought a bird had flown into the window, but the closer I looked, I realized that the outside window was intact and it was the inside (double paned) glass that exploded. Have you ever heard of such?

We had a couple of contractors come out and they both said that the window frame is bent and it's probably from the house settling. Called the manufacturer (Milgard Windows) who informed us it's not covered under the lifetime warranty. Of course not....when is a problem EVER covered under the warranty?

Needless to say, we're glad no one was sitting in the chair under the window because the shards of glass looked like lethal weapons. (I didn't think to grab the camera until after we had cleaned up the pieces). We're also glad that Jack was safe and sound outside wondering "what the heck?" If we hadn't seen him looking up at the window, I don't know when we would have figured out what happened! LOL. Our own Jack Bauer saved the day! (By the way...that's really his full name).
