Treehouse,
I as well have eyeballed the specter of powered ventilation up there, my
suggestion would be to go to an electronics parts house and purchase a 12VDC
fan for some piece of electronics, that has the mounting grill with it. Then
next, cut/modify the grill to make it mount in the place below the skylight.
Simple and cheap, probably less than 15 bucks.
