STAINED GLASS WINDOW MISHAP Regrettably, when the stained glass window was here and ready to be installed, it was discovered that it had a crack. So back to the shop it had to go. They will have to take apart certain areas of the window and replace the glass that was cracked, which was the etched piece. Completion time of the repair is not known.
