Default Silicone caulk

My ex-father in law put a glass block window in one of the showers in the
house my wife inherited recently. *They aren't standard, mortar in blocks,
they are a kit using a plastic frame and thin (80mm +-) blocks which are
held together and in the frame with silicone and thin metal/plastic spacers
that fit into recesses on the block edges.

After the thing is put together, the joints are caulked with silicone and it
is here that ex-FIL messed up the most...I've seen smoother cobblestone
roads. *I would like to cut off the worst of it and apply new, making it
smoother. *Yay or nay?

Nevermind about the caulk, I'm trying to follow the genealogy path
here.

The house was inherited by your wife and the work was done by your ex-
father in law.

That can't be your wife's father because if she's still your wife, he
wouldn't be an ex.

So was your ex-FIL just a guy who worked on the house that your wife
inherited from someone else?

Or if she's actually your ex-wife, why are you worried about the caulk
in her bathroom? ;-)

Color me curious.
