Hi, guys.

I am sure there are more than a few ways of putting a hole into a pane
of glass.

However, glass is fairly fragile.  True, it is a good insulator but
there is always a risk of breakage especially when it has been stressed
with the addition of holes.

I have an entirely different approach to this problem.  The problem of
bringing feedlines in through a window pane.  I replace the pane with a
sheet of lexan cut to fit.  Lexan is tough, can be drilled to your
hearts content, and is still clear like glass.  Lexan is also a good
insulator.
