Hi,

I'm researching fitting two skylight units to my van. One will be for
daylight purposes, the other used to allow a wood-burning stove to be
installed and have the flue pass through it.

I haven't been to the space for ages but did go a while back, and have been
on this list for ages. I am not (yet) a member, and this would be my first
hardware hacking project.

Questions I have:

Are there the right tools to cut through the steel roof of a van
reasonably cleanly and accurately?

Is there a way to get power out to the van whilst we're working on it? (ISTR
the space being quite some way from the car park/yard)

(more from a self-confidence point of view) Is anyone interested in giving
me a hand?

Thanks in anticipation of any replies,

Robert
