on installing big windows

and the cost of holding on

Installing windows on a second floor is nerve wracking.

Windows are heavy and expensive.

The bigger the window, the greater the weight as well as the cost.

The bigger the window the more vulnerable they are to a sudden gust of wind throwing them towards the ground.

Dropping them is catastrophic for the window.

Holding on too long is catastrophic for the carpenter.
