    What about the 3 rafters you cut out doesn't that compromise the roof structure? I would think you need to double up the rafters on each side of the skylight. I getting ready to put a 2x2 curb mounted skylight in my tiny house and I want to do it right. Tell me what you think. Thank you

    LOVE IT!!! why the curb mounted skylight and not use flashing kit? because the homeowner just had them? or are you doing low slope roof?

      We make our own flashing kits like bosses my man. It's a Portland thing. We rarely run into deck mounted skylights up here.

    The curb is built like that just like window jams because it helps from pulling apart.

    Can you mount a fixed mount skylight in either direction? Or is there a specific top and bottom? Since neither side opens, is there a correction orientation?

    My brother-in-law installed one of these curb mounted skylights DIY in the roof over the kitchen and, of course, everytime it rains it leaks onto the new hardwood floor they put in the kitchen. Bro should learn how to do flashing correctly. I wonder if he fixed that yet.

    nice video. why do you use staples on the sheeting? and not 8d

    • @MrLegit
      @MrLegit  4 роки тому

      Great question. I like the 8d ring shank nails as wl, but this crew looks the n19s. I think they like them because the gun shoots faster and less real-estate in the pouches.

  • @tigerseye73

    At 3:08 you call a two by six a two by four. No carpenter would build a roof with that span using 2x4 studs. Also, you should have doubled the 2x6 rafters on each long run of the skylights. The only question I have is how did you attach the curbs to the decking? Toe-in with 8d? steel angle cleats? glue?

  • @toddavis8603
    @toddavis8603 3 роки тому

    Measure width inside sill flashing, because it is slightly smaller than the curb cover.
