Nice and clean! He washes the new windshield, sitting it up on a sort of folding table pedestal.










--Oh! You draw a nice bead-- says I.

--Now, I'm impressed that you know what that's called-- says he.

--Oh, I like to do my own work. The masonry, painting, like that. Not plumbing, not electrical. Walter does the electric. Plumbing, we hire.








The Special Windshield Goop he keeps heated at 170 degrees in his van. It's why he keeps the motor running, he explains.

From the time he lays the bead, he's got about 5 or 6 minutes to get that windshield seated perfectly before it sets up too much. He works in what appears to be a totally unhurried fashion.
