Rows we had: either 1 with a pause in the middle or 2 (but don't worry, we've made up)
Window panes broken: 1 (old window, thank goodness, not the new one)
Hours it took: 3 (but it felt like 30)
Injuries: 1 (but I got the tiny sliver of glass out of my foot this morning and it doesn't hurt anymore)
Times we will attempt this again: 0 (builder has quoted £280 to finish the brickwork, do Noah's window and repair the roof. It's worth it.)

New window is in (the plastic shower curtain situation is still in place until we tile) - the window isn't really bowed like that at the top, it's lens distortion:

Detail shot - white uPVC frame (yes it's dirty from putting it in, no I haven't cleaned it yet), obscure glass:
