Lantern came. Time to take the glass out. If my mate the painter turns up tonight might give it a cheeky spray then put the glass back in

Gotta cut the square on my very nerve-wracking table saw if doom. And then drill the 4" hole for the vent. Which I wanna cap with the lantern but in a way it can release the air

Cut to size and hole cut for the duct collar. Sealed with a clear silicon will still fasten with machine heads but you get the idea.

It may be rough now but it will hide well. Once fixed and filled. Another step up after and then some compound mitres for the roof pitch

I hadn’t thought about it really. Was considering what I could do as that kinda touch. A kind of built in memory of plaque would be a nice touch

I was only posting it wet for some clarity that that is definitely grey I don’t get offended easily mate. I’ll get some more pics of the Inside when dry and even to satisfy your inner tradesman

Grey is the best Base coat primer colour you can use. If your unhappy with how the colour dries then you have the perfect canvas to apply another colour over. You never get the true effect of it until it’s fully dried. It always looks much darker

Measured 500x500mm
Marked a X so I had centre lines for each triangle. Then measured 11° either side of those lines which in turn gave me the cut lines for the pitch of roof I wanted.
Cheers @Palindrome im loving the build so far although this bits tricky.
