Good idea - and sacrificing a lobster or two for the cause works too

When we get home, my intent is to add 2 or 3 hinge points with some more pop rivets. This particular window is in the LR and would have little chance of ever being used in a disaster and could probably be permanently closed---but it wont be. I'll also fix the one in the bedroom.

Currently its back in place as 'designed' but has some good duct tape as a backup holding the top secure.
