So we had this hole in the wall where the window is supposed to go....

The old window came out without much fuss. It was pretty well rotted and badly in need of replacing.

With trembling arms we fit the new window into the hole left by the other one. And then Jim brought out the tractor. I opened with an unequivocal "no," Jim raised my "no" with an "I'll put a blanket over the bucket," and I called with an unequivocal "hell no." And somehow, I lost, and the blanket got put on the bucket, and the tractor pushed the window into place.

And it worked. Possum is thoroughly enjoying the new view.

Note: This does not in any way negate any future unequivocal "hell no" statement, nor does it imply approval of actions already committed.
