[Cob] skylights!

[aaron allen]

I have been pondering the skylight question a lot since first posting it,
"does anyone have any ideas regarding homemade skylight design", 
and I have come up with at least one great new (new to me) idea.  the basics of that design are this.
1) a cylinder, or portal that extends from inside the living space to outside.
2) a pyrex or other large glass bowl turned upside down over the portal on the outside of the roof.
3) some type of gasket between the top edge of the portal and the glass bowl.
4) a device to anchor the glass bowl against the portal (for my living roof I envision a ring around the lip of the bowl, with anchors attached to the ring and weighted under the sod)
5) some type of flashing to waterproof the roof/portal intersection (I thought of many ways to do this. my main concern was how to attach the glass in a waterproof manner)
 
let me know if more detail is needed.
