I'm getting ready to put in skylights in my bedroom and living/kitchen area. This is no small business: cutting big holes in your roof during the rainiest season on record in order to let a little light into a cave-like, if pleasant, space. We have to drill core samples in my roof to make sure there are no hidden reservoirs of seepage that could lead to problems later, like major leaks and unintended waterfalls. While I'm up there I have to decommission my swamp cooler unit and switch to the heater. To wit: last evening I had my first fireplace fire of the season. 'Twas as toasty and cozy as you can imagine.
