Gaijin Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 @geogeo Birmingham's a bit far for me, mate, but thanks for the offer Thanks, I'll have a look at those for vents. If the roof turns out to be wood, I might be able to install something up there myself. I'd just be crapping myself about springing a leak @RUFUS HOUND yeah I think that's right mate, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car door end walled up; other end the door you can see, which opens into a sunroom. The sunroom is getting a new roof, so will lose the title "sunroom", being demoted to "room" Light turned 90 degrees so I can get the loft tent in there. It's only 185cm floor to ceiling with 6" insulation You can see the bare concrete here on the right of the door. I removed the panel above the door and it appears to be a wooden roof, but will investigate more. On the left of the door is where I plan to drill the extraction holes out. I think.

RUFUS HOUND Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I cant really see whats above the concrete, usually its a wood planks just to cover the gap up. the roof is held up with the rather flimsy green metal struts. Dont do a hole in a flat roof, your asking for trouble. try above the concrete panels with a long small bit first to see if its wood. I tried drilling the concrete panels once and went through 3 drill bits making a 6mm hole. defo diamond tip core drill if going through the wall this is mine - excuse the cobwebs, its where the mutant spiders hang out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 @RUFUS HOUND Yours is different to mine mate. From the landing window above the garage, the roof's flat. And this is what it looks like from inside. Above the red line that I drew is the top edge of the vertical wall panels, with wooden sheet on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
