meaning

One cable guy said like below.
'from seven to four'… it looks like about time, but I don't get it.
If someone understand, please let me know.

I got a cable installation. My client was given a window from seven to four. It’s five fifteen. Ride with me…and I'll fill you in on everything.

Best Answer

A window is a period of time. It probably comes from the main meaning of window: an opening. An "opening" in a schedule is called a window.

A window of seven to four means that the cable guy should arrive to install or repair the cable between 7am and 4pm.

Note: if it's five fifteen pm (5:15pm), then the cable guy is over an hour late.
