Broken Glass
By peace | September 19, 2007
This is my display cupboard in the living room. It is a old cupboard, about 10 years now. A few years back, while the children were playing ball at home, it hit the cupboard and the glass crack. There were 2 crack lines if you see the picture carefully. I was very angry with the children for causing the glass to crack at that time. I did not know what to do. Do I take out the whole piece of glass or do I buy a replacement? If getting a replacement, where can I find one? It was difficult. After some time, a sudden inspiration came to me. What you see in the picture above is what I had done to the doors of the cupboard — I had painted these birds and flowers to camouflage the cracklines. Today, the cracks are still there. Everytime I open the door of the cupboard, I just need to be careful, not to use force.
Glasses are so fragile. Sometimes you do not need to use force to cause the glass to shatter or to crack. Several years back, when I was a kid, my father’s lorries, my brother’s car and my husband’s car often have shattered windscreen or windshield. Sometimes, little pebbles on the road will be ’splashed’ up from the road, hitting the windscreen. It just need a little impact from the pebble to cause a crack and ultimate shattered of the windscreen. In worse case, the windscreen got shattered, everything fully broken into pieces, leaving the driver not able to drive the car at all. This happened several years back to our car when we had parked it under a tree one day. It was raining and one of the tree branches fell down, hitting the windscreen. We were at wits ends when such things happened. But now let me tell you a place where you can go for windshield repair. Rapid Glass is Minneapolis windshield repair and replacement company.
