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.

And you'd expect that to stand up to gusts of 90MPH driving rain?
