Room with a view

18 April 2018

The dépendance, that is, with it's new Velux.

Of course, the official reason for installing a skylight was to improve the ventilation and light, since we are not technically allowed to use the dépendance as habitable space.

But then, did Heidi's grandfather - the alm-Uncle - apply for council permission to put her in her cosy little Heidi-hole? I think not.

So, Tom has worked his magic and has installed a single Velux, and, he says:

"I'm pleased with how it looks, there's a great view from it!"

Now we'll be able to lose the ugly ventilation fan in the apex...

It looks pretty good from the outside too.

Can't wait to see how the dépendance handles the heat in summer, now that the hot air can escape.

Happily, not too long now: I'll be there at the beginning of July, G not far behind.
