Up in the roof today. I ordered a skylight window to light a little space we are going to make. It is one that opens for ventilation, so it should also make the roof area a bit cooler in the summer. We basically have one big room that is used for four little spaces, two of which are kind of mezzanine areas. The wood stove heats the whole area with a fan that blows the heat back down into the lower spaces. I wanted to check the spacing of the rafters to see what timber I have to make up to fit the window so I stripped off the plasterboard from the area where it will go in to make some measurements. I guess I will make the hole in the roof tomorrow and fit it and then make up any flashing I need. I can just pop a sheet over it if the weather goes downhill
