<P><BR><BR></P>Fantastic Idea!!!!! My wife had just mentioned that exact same idea (windows that role down) to me last week.  We laughed at first, then stopped and said hmmmm...  If we are going to think and build divergently, why not take it all the way!!  We also plan on embedding auotmobile glass for windows.  Free, strong and a variety of shapes, sounds great!!  </DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>OK now don't all laugh at once, but a cobber friend said she saw a guy 
<DIV></DIV>>take a real car door, and cob that into the wall so he could have a roll 
<DIV></DIV>>down opening window...and car glass is strong, shatters into pebbles, 
<DIV></DIV>>and so his choice, while funky, was clever. 
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>>Also there is a "house" in New Zealand, a dome shaped cob style that 
<DIV></DIV>>took several auto windsheilds, and cobbed them in longways ( on end) 
<DIV></DIV>>like skylights, giving natural light from all directions into the 
<DIV></DIV>>structure., again very strong glass, can resist a lot more than window 
<DIV></DIV>>glass. He used 5- 6 of them I think, and also used glass bottles around 
<DIV></DIV>>other areas for colored light. 
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>>just an idea....:>
