[Greenbuilding] neat idea

[Kat]

Hey here's an idea - don't flatten them but use them like curved roof 
tiles.  However, either method (flattening or not) would require _a lot_ 
more roof structure (nailing surface) than I saw in the pictures.  They 
seem to have supports only at the edges of each corrugated metal panel.
