If you have a house built before 1980 your roof could be conventionally
framed. This means you will be able to build your skylight exactly were
you want it. You will be able to build a bigger skylight with in reason.
If the skylight is going to be larger than four feet wide you will need
to get a engineer involved for your safety.
If
you have a newer house you probably have an engineered roof. The
engineered roof trusses can not be cut with out getting the roof
engineered. This means your skylight will have to go in between the roof
trusses. Do not cut these roof trusses.
The
picture above is a conventionally framed roof.
