[Well as you can see], I'm wiping the windows.

Well as you can see, I'm wiping the windows.


I have always thought of an "as" clause placed at the beginning with an adjective or adverb fronted as a concessive clause, the like of "though/ although clause"; I was wondering if my thought is right.

But in the case of my example, when I take it as a concessive clause, the whole sentence becomes incoherent.

So I'd like to know whether "well as you can see" is a a concessive clause, whether if not, it means "well like you can see" and qualifies the following clause "I'm wiping the windows."

Thank you in advance for your help.

It is mispunctuated. It should read: Wel l, as you can see, I'm wiping the windows . 'Well' is an interjection.
