While out cutting our jungle, oops, I mean, grass, we discovered that one of our windows on our mini-digger is broken. It is the lower window on the front. It could have been broken for a few weeks as we rarely go past the digger. It is safety glass so it has shattered into lots of small pieces. There is no evidence of vandalism so perhaps a bird strike. Poor bird.
We picked up most of the broken glass and have measured the gap so we can order a plexiglass replacement. It measures 795mm wide and 530mm high. We also will try and find a rubber seal that will join between this fixed section of glass, and the moving window above it.
In the meantime, we covered up the poor old mini-digger in tarpaulin, to minimise the rain from getting inside.

The new window came a few days later and we cleaned up the seals and installed the new plastic, we applied some sealant where necessary.
