The coolest roof windows I've ever seen - just WOW

[Stinky The Clown]

I saw these on HGTV this morning. Essentially, they're wondows intended to be installed in a pitched roof. The upper lite opens upward to form a sort of 'roof' while the lower lite opens forward to form a sort of 'railing'. The net effect is a window that converts to a balcony! How cool is that?

1. dang! those are cool! you have a roof you're thinking of retrofitting?

2. No, my roof is pitched, but there's no useable attic

Our pitch is low, so the attic only has about 7 feet of headroom at the peak. Our two investment houses that the boys live in are both flat-roofed rowhouses.

I just thought these were the coolest thing since sliced bread.
