" And you have to worry Mike about doing any insulating any caulking on the inside.

It is all flak from outside on the roof so it will not -- you know we don't have to. Well we've got a real tight collar around it and also the heat rises whatever he is and here's that tends to keep condensation at a minimum right exactly it -- on the cannot so that you. Already -- your pieces of drywall. Yes I've pre cut on all the site basis.

Replacing the Roof: Sheathing to Asphalt Shingles and Skylight Installation
Replacing the Roof: Sheathing to Asphalt Shingles and Skylight Installation

Bob flashed back to the installation of the new roof. First the crew removed the old layers of roofing material from the barn. Next they added a layer of Louisiana Pacific oriented strand board (OSB) over the original sheathing. It's manufactured with thin wafers of wood, resins and wax compressed under intense heat. When used as roof sheathing it's extremely resistant to moisture damage. Then they stapled down a layer of felt paper and marked with chalk lines to lay out the courses of asphalt shingles. Since these are double layer shingles, they're fastened along the pre-marked white line to assure that both layers are attached to the roof. Frames for the Velux VSE skylights were installed. These vented skylights will be operated with a hand-held remote. Copper step flashing is added to the side of the skylights and the asphalt roof shingles are fastened up to it.

The adjustable design of these skylights allows them to fit into tight spaces, and around difficult framing. The domed cap uses prisms to maximise the effects of the reflected light along the aluminum shaft. It's easy to install with just a few common tools.
