New windows, part III: Guardian angel

Shortly before Christmas, the new windows were built in, and the day the workers were here, a guardian angel watched over them (and us!). They leaned their ladder against the balcony in order to exchange the windows upstairs:



And a picture to give you an idea in what height that balcony is:


And this is what the place where their ladder stood looked like a mere four (!!!) days later:



I was really shocked when those rotten wooden panels just fell apart as if they were dust. Imagine what would have happened to those workers had they been on the ladder when the wood collapsed. I'd probably never ever have forgiven myself if something happened to them just because of our inattentiveness.

But luckily everything went well and the workers left our place healthy and happy and delivered a great job! More on our new windows in my next post! And yes - that broken patio is yet another project in our long to-do-list...
