This is a video for skylight window Mr. Idiot. Do you expect him to say your mom's name instead?
For vented attics, should you drill holes through/across the rafters on each side of the light? That way you don’t have a soffit vent to nowhere and a ridge vent for a blocked off section.
this is great video. very nice
And it only will take you 4:46 to complete
Incredible
This would be great as a natural sunlight source for indoor fruit trees!
Is it possible for a roof with traditional ceramic shingles (clay tiles)? Everyone here uses that kind of tiles. What kind of shingles are on the video?
Great
What is the terms below and above 3:12
that easy huh?
do you how much does i cost to install 1 skylight in general?
About tree fiddy
@@Aus10Bra I was not expecting that comment here, but damn that was funny
That’s that millennial homeowner generation
What if your ceilings are flat how does that work?
Basically the same way you would just frame from the ceiling all the way up to the roof. Would be like little walls under the skylight
Your not flat so it's no big deal🤣🤣
How many times this guy mention the world Skylight ?
Lmao was about to comment on that
how do you install and waterproof a skylight on an existing torch down flat roof
There is a special process where you need to build a curb for the skylight to raise it off the flat roof.
Can you install skylight on mobile homes?
Only can install mobile skylights on mobile homes.
Yes you can
Just go outside
Be sure no to fall On The screws lol 😂
Pro
How much it costs to install one?
A night of love making

Do what these people did; hire pros. Lol, the notation at the end is best.

@@younewser indeed!
Nah, I’ll do it myself
Cutting a rafter that's in the way? Do exactly as they did it and 10 years down the road you are working with a building engineer to calculate rafter loads and having a bracing system designed since the structure has been compromised.
Also, they are preventing proper venting and mould will grow fast enough that you'll be seeking information on reroofing...
Don't ask why I tell you this...
In your opinion, what are the proper venting instructions?
@@rmnjmnz8133 it all depends on your house and situation. We went through the trouble of:
1) Doubling the left and right next rafters (if you really need to cut one...) we've used LVL and structural screws for this.
2) We were working with 8" rafters here. We used 2*6 lumber for top and bottom brancing. The idea is to let air pass through 2" seems a minimum in my mind... Your local building code might ask for something else tough...
Bear in mind that cutting a rafter as they did affects structure and this asks for an engineer to make calculations and suggestions.
@@davidproulx4782
Yeah, i don't recommend cutting the rafter, it could affect the structure strength, but as i see they've a narrow space between rafters, it's a must for them, also i want to make a skylight just for the light scene not for venting.
Arent all rafters pretty much spaced apart smaller than most skylights?
This is a bad example because this house does not have an attic. Almost all houses have attics. So I would have to clean out the insulation and construct walls in my attic and then insulate the outside of these walls that make the light channel.
Sky lights are only installed in vaulted ceilings
@@scottrenwick3681 I have a vaulted ceiling but I still have an attic above the ceiling. Also I have seen houses with flat ceilings and they put in a light shaft to the roof. Google it, I tried to post a link but my comment got deleted.
I really wish i can have a skylight in my house too bad It can't be possible 😞
everything is possible in this world.
Yes, it is possible with $$$
No mention of obtaining permit...
He literally said to check local codes before starting. Most places don't require permits for adding skylights.
@@michaeldesanta4070 most places require permits, codes are guidelines for proper installations. One precedes the other.
No need for a permit, if it's your home do what you want to it.
@@5ociopathic sure buddy, you go ahead.
The best practice for any project is to first check the regulations, laws, legality before performing any work on a home. I agree, should have stated this in the video. Worst case, unauthorized work can nuke your homes value.
This is a bad example. Shingles removed should be staggered more to prevent water from reaching the underlayment.
The shingles are staggered by the roofing company that Installed the roof, when you install a skylight you’re removing existing shingles not cutting new staggers in.
Water can get under shingles and all roofing materials that’s why you have underlayment.
DON’T DO IT…..because it will leak if not now it will leak in the future.
There's many ways to prevent leaks.
Why should it leak any more than anything else that pierces your roof? Like a chimney or vent etc. I have 10 vents on my rood and they are flashed into the shingles. If these skylights are flashed properly, they won't leak unless they leak somewhere on the actual plastic seals of the skylight.
All that lore is pre- ice and water shield era skylights. If done right, you’re more likely to get a leak somewhere else than the skylight itself with modern installation.
dropped my pants for a second there at step. 9
