Can I make a skylight out of a glass patio door?

Jon H asked:


I have access to used but functional sliding glass patio doors for $4 each. (Materials recycling center). Can I just frame out a curb and flash it and put the door over the curb and seal it? It would span joists in a cathedral ceiling. I would not cut the joists. Any ideas? Thanks much…//Jon

Rosie asked:


We recently had a patio poored and the concrete splattered on the sliding door, door trim and vinyl siding - I have used a widget blade to scrape spots off the window but what can I use for the vinyl areas? it looks awful and I really don’t want to see it every time I might want to sit out!!! HELP!!!
