skylight
#1
When I built my home, I wanted to put a skylight in, but, after running short on cash for materials, decided against it.

Big fan of watching the night time sky. I think Puna is probably the best place, since hardly any street lights and down on the ocean side lot's of clear night viewing. Plus maybe good night ventilation as well.

Anyway, anyone do it yet? I was thinking of trying to cheap out and make my own flashing and using a glass door but, after rethinking this, I really think I need a professional sky light that has a nice curb and enclosure to hopefully keep out the rain better.

So, hoping that others have done it, and can tell me where to go to get one on the island? I went to HomeDepot they are pretty much a joke. Haven't checked out Lowes yet. But, I'm thinking those tinted bubble type are not for me, I would think trying to view stars through bubble plexiglass would distort the image too much.

So, off to amazon and was looking at something like this.

http://www.amazon.com/68814-Manual-Venting-Skylight-2-Inch/dp/B00BC6VD2A/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

This would fit perfectly between my rafters 16" on center just cut one out and box it in. Plus I have single asphalt roofing. That's normally not the norm around here, but I'm on private water so...

Thanks all for your suggestions and help!
