Last Minute Decision

There's a danger in putting on a new roof, but it's not what you might think. We'd gotten used to having no roof on the kitchen, gazing up at the clear blue sky, which has recently been particularly gorgeous. I wished the roof could be made entirely of glass. We decided then and there to put in a previously unbudgeted skylight. I'd always wanted one. Those of you who picked up on the gap in roof tiles in the previous entry will now understand. May I present our all-singing, all-dancing Velux window.

It even has a rain sensor and will apparently shut itself at the first hint of moisture. Once the electricity is again up and running, stay tuned for the day I plan to test this with a plant spritzer.
