Conservatory replacement causing overwintering issues

Looking good Dave , the lantern will make a major difference to the feel of the room...let alone extra light. We are re roofing a similar project at the moment....the blue glass lantern were fitting for them is stunning.

Welcome back HTUK

Welcome back Dave!.
