But I enjoy the gardening and landscaping more than he does. Your work looks lovely :) I've just been holding the fort this year trying to figure out what I've got and how I want to change it next year (1st year in my house). You make me even more excited for my landscaping projects next year.krisluvswoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301389134917751361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-90211087300534680832012-06-07T09:00:45.481-04:002012-06-07T09:00:45.481-04:00:)

We had to make a 3 hour drive in -20C weather with a garbage bag in place of where our window had been only shortly beforehand. <br />My step-dad, an engineer, explained it to me and I was greatly comforted. <br />Similar things can happen with double-pane windows because the gas between the panes can expand.... <br />I'm sorry you'll need a new window, but at least you won't have worries about the cause now.stylocyclehttp://stylocycle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-53166722650550033752012-06-07T06:27:57.148-04:002012-06-07T06:27:57.148-04:00a great story as always. but i think i may have co...a great story as always. but i think i may have concluded the chain of events with something other than lemonade.Gregory Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607287993605837055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-62664692091274077362012-06-06T22:48:12.070-04:002012-06-06T22:48:12.070-04:00Stylocycle: Thanks for the explanation.

The car *was* parked in the sun, but it was still cold outside because it was early in the morning.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-78783635096186005462012-06-06T22:34:08.175-04:002012-06-06T22:34:08.175-04:00The window could have shattered simply because of ...The window could have shattered simply because of a differential between internal air pressure in the car and external air pressure outside. If it was colder out than in, if the car was, e.g., parked in the sun, the vibration from the opening and closing of the trunk could easily have triggered the shattering. It's fairly common.stylocyclehttp://stylocycle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-6860107329988655772012-06-06T18:26:32.136-04:002012-06-06T18:26:32.136-04:00The windshield shattered when I put the wheelbarro...The windshield shattered when I put the wheelbarrow into the trunk. Maybe part of the wheelbarrow somehow hit the glass somehow? It doesn't really make sense to me because the lid of the trunk was between the glass and the wheelbarrow, but maybe one of the handles poked through underneath the lid of the trunk? It happened really fast and I took the wheelbarrow out right away, so I'm still not really sure exactly how it happened.<br /><br />I did cover the car with a camping tarp so it didn't get wet in the rain. It's a really old car that my kids use; to be honest, I don't think getting wet would have hurt it that much anyhow.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-24635801013860778942012-06-06T17:41:26.286-04:002012-06-06T17:41:26.286-04:00How did the windshield shatter?
