Into the Light

Other than sanding and mudding, and mudding and sanding, and sanding and mudding... we installed one of the Solatubes last Sunday. Since we had already installed the ceiling portion of the Solatube, all we had to do was connect the new roof portion of the Solatube to it.

The second picture above was taken at 6:30AM. The Solatube brings A LOT of light into the room. It has this unearthly glow early in the morning and late at night. During the day, it's just bright. We think we like it and will be installing the other two Solatubes (especially the 10" one in the kitchen).

About the install... pretty easy. It would have been easier if we had not choosen where each hole in the ceiling and in the roof was going to be and then tried to connect them. Better to let the Solatube tubing dictate where the holes go. We thought the tubing was a little more forgiving. Not.
