For example, if I had not owned a glasscutter yesterday night, I would
have been unable to replace the 3 panes in the greenhouse (using spare
glass) that broke early on during a lull in the wind, and may well have
lost 10-20 panes. Obtaining cut panes of glass in the hour or so weather
window at 6PM would have been difficult, if not impossible.

Most would have used hardboard or similar as a temporary repair.


And cut it with?

Dressmakers scissors

And got it from?

Old cardboard boxes or cereal packets.



I personally don't like having glass lying around.
