We are completely removing our roof this year from the ceiling up, and replacing with a cathedral ceiling. I'm trying to figure out how to let more light in, and trying to avoid dormers.
There fine, if you have 2’ oc and the room, I would do 2’x4’ skylights, They make them to fit inside the framing, and they work out really nice. And this application or 12 inch on center, So these fit right in between, he just wanted some natural light for the bathrooms. I really like these for hallways and bathrooms that you don’t want a large skylight in, you can also get them with what I call dampers so you can shut the light off if you want to, you twist the housing in the room and it blocks off the light. I really like the larger 2’ x 4’ skylights, but in some circumstances it can also not be ideal, if you’ve gotten a room at the TV it can really wash out your picture and sometimes be almost too much light, you do get a pretty direct light from them at times, the tubes are completely indirect light it’s like having a light fixture, Not overpowering, but you will find yourself thinking you left the light on all the time! LOL
Two layers. The top (nailed) came off pretty easy. The bottom layer (stapled) was much harder to remove. And the staples don’t come out, so I had to go over the whole roof and pull every staple by hand.
I keep telling them to get gutters, but they don’t want to spend the money..
Nice, they outlawed staples a long time ago in our county, so we don’t come across it much, except manufactured homes, they only have to conform to hud rules, and can be built out of area too. I hate roofs that had wood shingles und asphalt single, major pain! Lol dressing out the roof Is always fun!
Not allowed here either, but that layer of roofing was 30+ yrs old. House was built in the 60s, but I think the roof had been replaced once already, because some of the decking had been replaced with redwood boards at some point.
