My apartment has multiple skylights in the living room, then i just cherish the look of them; The natural light pouring in is just glorious.
It particularly makes the space look larger too, then my wife is constantly trying to cover them up.
I guess she feels it would be easier to remove them and put up drywall, and well, yeah probably. I wouldn’t cherish my living room the way I do. I know my wife is agitated that the skylights are a bit of work. I am constantly cleaning the inside of them and painting it to look new. My wife frequently has to repair them due to leaks. The glass doesn’t seem to rest too flush anymore. I have made my wife go on the roof multiple times to repair the issue. She constantly threatens to take them out. She wants to do the fast patch over the long term fix. She also does not like heights and wants to avoid going on the roof anymore, however no such fortune with me. I told him that I would hire professional roofers before removing those skylights. She grumbled and got back to work. I figure one of these afternoons I will have the roofers take a look at my light. I want to ensure that everything is sealed tight. The water coming into the apartment is gross. I also worry it will ruin my floors if it keeps being a problem. I spent fantastic money on hardwood floors. I would hate to warp the wood or cause it to swell with the water leaking in constantly.
