    Velux Skylight - Full Open?

    I had a velux, you just may be able to open it that far if you disconncted the raise linkage, long time ago, not really sure. My family had a body/mech. shop, and they put a set of bilco basement doors as a roof entrance from the attic, worked out real well.

    Good Compressor Deal?
