Hi all, hoping I can get some advice here.
My family and I are currently staying in rented accommodation, it's a very informal agreement based on personal relationships. Anyway, point is we are pretty free to do whatever we want to the place as long as we don't wreck it. Get a good deal on rent and landlord has little involvement. Works for us all as we're in the process of looking for somewhere to buy. In the short term there's a skylight in the hallway which desperately needs replacing. I want to do this as cheap as possible as we don't own the place. My thought at the moment is to buy a upvc window to attach to the internal wall around the skylight. So skylight is approx 475mm x 975mm. I was thinking to get a 500mm x 1000mm window and attach it to the wall/roof. My question is, first of all is this a terrible idea, and second of all what would be the best way to attach it for a decent seal?
Any advice welcome.
Cheers.
