    Leaking translucent FBG roof panels

    Interesting stuff, inspectorD... but it looks like I lose my translucence. If I were to go this route, I would simply replace the FBG panels with metal panels... and be done with it. I sure do like the brightness in my workshop below. Its the drip.... drip.... drip from a soaking rain...
