Reaching for perfection in an imperfect world

Windows are made of glass. www.alside.com  Shipping companies have human employees.  Their trucks travel on asphalt highways filled with unpredictable drivers.  What does this mean?  Sometimes the windows get broken enroute from the factory.   So when I  picked up this window order for a new house at the distributors warehouse, we discovered 2 out of 19 windows had been cracked.  And it happened to the round top windows which take 3 weeks lead time instead of the normal two.  This makes for a 6 week install cycle.  The other trades were waiting in the wings to start their jobs.   So, we just installed the two broken windows in their opening, and let the sheetrock installers and the masonry crew start start their work.   I will come back to replace the broken windows with the new ones when they arrive.  Not much of a problem, except some extra labor.  Not worth fussing over, but we will continue to reach for perfection.    Contented,  JavaJoe
