I've used both Makita and Dewalt 18v tools in the construction industry and prefer Dewalt because it's tools have more power and options for tools
Does Makita make one of these
Makita does have dewalt beat when it comes to weight (if i just did drywall I would buy Makita in a heartbeat) but you can't go wrong with either company
I started by framing the opening for the roof vent, I went with a Ventline vent with 12v fan and will probably mod it with a 3 way switch so I can have exhaust and intake and might add a rheostat to change fan speed.
Router with flush trim bit to cut the hole.
I decided to add a skylight I went HD and picked up an 18x24 piece of lexan and framed the opening. The opening was designed to be 3/8 short all around.
Flush trimmed again
I planned to rabbit out the top of the hole to give the lexan a place to sit and still be slightly above the roof so water wouldn't have a place to pool. This required taking the base plate off the router since I only need to remove an 1/16 of material.
Test piece to get the depth right...looks pretty good.
I'm insulating with 3/4" rigid foam and sealing with GE silicone II.
I cut the front out I designed it to be 52" tall overall and 59.5" wide.
Now I need to get some walls built and start framing the front and back
