That’s weird how they finished them. Why not board the vaults in flush with the existing ceiling?This room clearly had four at some point, but they were covered up and roofed over (pardon the dusty fans) before we moved in. My parents’ last house had a couple and they always had leak issues. View attachment 811285View attachment 811286

My childhood row house in South Philly (built in 1920) had a skylight in what was my sister's room when she was a baby. It had a chain that you could pull to open it to let in fresh air. I never liked looking up at it at night. That room was in the middle of the second floor and had no windows for natural light or ventilation.My childhood row house had a bathroom skylight because it was otherwise windowless. Many homes today have no natural light in some of their baths.
No skylights here. But Marie's late uncle had 2 solar tubes, one in the kitchen, one in a bathroom. They were amazing with the light brought in. Both rooms had attic above, so no skylights. But those solar tubes really were amazing. And never an issue with anything.
I had to look these up, but now I'm fascinated and want them.We do not. My dad has a few solar tubes in his house in Florida. Whenever we are there, I always think someone left the bathroom light on because it’s so bright in there during the day.
I don't have one in my house or my car for the same reason. Leaks.Does the one in my car count?
I love your picture - thank you for the thank youNo skylights here. But Marie's late uncle had 2 solar tubes, one in the kitchen, one in a bathroom. They were amazing with the light brought in.
