So, good work. But a few notes from someone who has done a few thousand of these. That skylight doesn't need to be mounted on a hob. It's designed to mount directly to the battens. The standard flashing that comes with the skylight is totally different for that roof and would have taken 5 minutes to install. If you install the bottom trimmers and timber of the hob plumb you can run the plasterboard plumb out of the bottom groove of the skylight directly to the ceiling. Much neater. Installing your bottom of one of your side ceiling trimmers before placing the skylight on the roof gives you a much easier reference point then measuring too a level. Good work with the flashings. You made it hard for yourself but pulled it off! Get the sticker off the window pronto, otherwise the glue can be a pain to clean later.
Quite like the larger “V” diverter up top though. Simple and clever. I’m trying to think of a reason not to do it but it seems sound and functional. I did a couple years of skylight installs and never saw that.
@@TheDarkhorse82 that's a very regional thing. Normally where I've worked it would be a insulated blanket under the Corry which couldn't be closely sealed to the frame. I honestly would have fully stripped and blanked the roof by this point. But different priorities for different regions
We installed a Velux opening access window to let light into the attic of our ranch house composition-shingle roof, and provide an emergency exit for persons inside the attic. We also used the Velux flashing kit (an Excellent kit). The access feature was handy for cleaning gutters and is still handy for trimming trees and cleaning our other skylights without needing a ladder.
One of my favorite parts of carpentry is since there are so many tasks, so many ways of doing those tasks, constantly changing materials, tools and technology, you are always an amateur at something. It’s why I chose to do carpentry over 30 years ago. Being an amateur keeps me humble and curious to learn.
This looks really good Scott,you are a genius of a builder. From what I can see, I was going to say that I have installed quite a few Velux Skylights in the last couple of years on new builds in Christchurch. I could be incorrect but from what I could see from the video, the picture that you were modelling your flashing off was of a low pitch skylight but I think you have used the model for over15 degrees (or what ever their cut number is). With the low pitch skylights the instructions say to build a box like you have but make it to the inside dimensions and when the flashings are done ,they wrap up the side of the box and once completed then you fit your window over the top. If I am right the window that you have used we normally sit that to the height of the iron Which tends to be about 25 mil or so above the purlings and then the Roofer wraps up underneath. I think this explains why you have a step on your box to try and compensate for the top of your box to your skylight - you’re a pretty smart guy I’m sure you’re weatherproofed it properly but I think if you were to look into it a little bit more you might find you’ve done it a little bit differently to how Velux would recommend but I stand to be corrected🙂
we use a blue skin product which is a rubber like material with a major adhesive backing, peel and stick kind of thing. It is used around windows and doors to seal in the joints. One advantage is that the rubber can take nails or fasteners and still maintain water tightness.
Hi Scott, the v you put was excellent. I am a plumber and do a lot of maintenance for a large private school in Australia. “Pretty roofing” means nothing if it’s not water tight. You did really well.
This makes top 3 all time videos easily Scott! 1. Floating Shelf TV Stand, 2. Table out of a door, 3. Skylight! Very professional and skillful done for an amateur job!
once the plasterboard and paint go on itll feel like double the light coming through, did the same sort of thing on my extension, worth the pain. also the Nelson tourist board should pay you a small fee per episode!!
Being an experienced skylight installer (total ....one!) i think you made it much more complicated than it needed to be, having said that you did an amazing job. When i did mine my biggest fear was the rates of movement being different between the roof (exposed to the elements) and the ceiling which could cause cracks in the lining of the shaft.
Fun fact: In Denmark (where Velux is founded) there is actually a part of the education, for becoming a carpenter, where putting in a skylight (particularly Velux) is mandatory. Velux sponsers the educational system in the way that they provide the educational institutions in Denmark with the skylights, flashing and sends out an expert to explain to apprentices, how to fit the skylights. Bonus fun fact: In Denmark we dont call them skylights, we call the "velux windows."
Velux supply different flashing for various roof coverings and roof pitches.However there are limits to how low the pitch can be. I once had to lift up the back end of a window in Wellington because there was not enough fall on the window. The water was pooling along the bottom of the glass and seal line and over time started to leak. Once lifted the problem ended.
Hey Scott, Great job on the skylight! As a Roof plumber in Aus I'd suggest putting some extra screws through the backtray flashing that runs up under the ridge. Otherwise you might get rattling when it's windy 👌
That would be the roof on a farmers shed in Ireland. Most roof's here are just felt and batten with slate or tile as a finish. Most newer roofs here are counter battened. Having worked in America I believe that a sheathed roof is much better. The sheets give a tremendous amount of shear strength to a roof and make for a much less drafty roof.
Google curb mounting vs deck mounting skylights. For this install method a curb mount would have been best, but you’ve used a deck mount skylight in a curb setup. I’ve been caught with this before, had to get two custom skylights made for a project rather than using the off the shelf ones I had ordered, and was stuck with the off the shelf ones unable to return them.
Exactly. He could have done either install on this pitch, but he ended up mixing them both up. Everything you need to know is in the instructions, with pictures even.
Yours looked as good as the one you were referencing!! Cutting holes in roofs scares me quite a bit!! I also dig Jess's overalls! I'd get endless grief on the job site but I would totally wear those! 😁
Will we ever see Scott Brown the carpenter that we all grown to enjoy and bought his smoko time tee shirts again doing customers jobs. All is it now just about Scott renovating his house.
In Germany we go a great length for insulation. In the past not. Still, basically only metal would even 70 years ago like nothing. However, interesting to see the stuff from other countries. But I assumed New Zealand would have done more.
@@hw2508 Kiwi houses in the NZ winter were traditionally pretty cold. I know, I lived there as a kid, visited a few times during the winter time as a kid 50 years ago. The houses were not well insulated and were kept pretty open. And the kids would run around in shorts, bare feet and sweaters (cardigans). Central heating was not a thing.
Scott, missed a perfect transition to the squarespace ad! Going from a triangular space to.... A squarespace! :P house is looking great mate, inspiring everytime I tune in :)
Hi Scott, that lichen on your roof you can suss out with stuff called Surrender which you can buy as a concentrate from Bunnings or wherever. Cheaper than wet and forget but same active ingredient :)
You got rain? Lucky beggars, we're still waiting for ours. Skylights are great though, nice to have that connection to the outside, so well done Scott & Co. If you have an inner window/diffuser, make sure it's easy to remove because bugs will get in there and die, and it looks gross and some people really don't like it. I have to do mine every year, and I can't see how they get in but they do.
Never seen a flashing like that v. Really cool. I'm about to install one that seems to be the same model. Pretty sure it doesn't have to sit that high giving it a much lower profile which i think looks better
Nice one mate. As a fellow kiwi builder i'm surprised you haven't done these before. I would've just doubled and trimmed out the rafters etc, whacked it in and flashed it out etc..
Speaking of rain, please prep yourselves for next week, i think the rains from Tue - Friday might be quite intense and sustained. Sydney just got two days worth of deluge, dropping a month worth of rains. Good luck guys.
Hey Scott, what kind of watch do you wear in this episode? Do you think you can do an episode of all watches you have while working on construction, would love to see what works for you.
Nice shots of Pororari there, Scott... I can just imagine what it'd be like hanging out with you and Jess and Ray. Loads of laughs, a truly great meal - and then a Squarespace ad. I love the bluey teal colour of that wall in your lounge. I reckon you should get some wallpaper printed and maybe have a feature wall somewhere that is a Squarespace ad.
Love the views of New Zealand beauty! Seeing the view from the roof--maybe a second story will be in your future? (Or as they say in the UK, ia first story.)
Really loved the rainforest shots, maybe you should do more with those shots? As always excellent work, although as a German I wonder why there are no shingles but bare metal?!
Thanks for the video. Is there an other way of preventing water coming in than putting a whole sheet of sheet material in the upper side of the skylight?
One little trick with installing skylights, is to peel off the sticker BEFORE you install it, while it's easy to get at. If it has info the inspector needs to see, then just save it aside somewhere.
If you like the scenery, you can also check out 'Marty T' as he digs old forestry equipment out of scenic nooks and crannies just a little bit further North.
I would like to see you make a long board and or skate board one exciting episode...seems pretty simple but maybe its not??? Great work btw, watching Scott Brown after breakfast on a Saturday with the kids has become a bit of a ritual.
There is the sunshine "Ray"..... wondering what is the story behind Ray's sort of triangle tatoo on one of his arms? Intriguing ...Well done there guys....skylight flashing is over the top and well thought of.... . Canada chiming in. :)
I'm not sure if you can have too many skylights in a house, but I want to find out one day if it is possible, when I have my own house. Might even consider a glass ceiling lol
How you feel about pocket doors. Roofers feel the same way about sky lights. With skylights, it's not if they're going to leak. They will leak sooner then later.
Why don't we see more square skylights where they are installed at a 45 degree angle to allow better drainage around the window while reducing debris building up at the head of the skylight?
Hey Scott, just wondering why didn’t you use any aluband or aluflash type tape under the flashing? And why no flashing under the corrugated iron on the upper edge of the skylight.
Hi Scott. I'm from the UK and my son has finished his apprenticeship in carpentry. What would you recommend him getting for his first power and hand tools? I've said pick a brand, dewalt, makita etc and some hand tools. Like a decent hammer, levels, Japanese saws etc but what's your suggestions? Cheers
Any reason why you didnt screw it to the purlins? Doesnt need to be boxed up above like that. So much easier to flash when mounted to the purlins aswell
He’s installed it as a curb mount skylight, but the skylight is designed for deck mounting and screwing to the perlins. Velux make two types, the curb mount variety is generally more waterproof.
@@mycoolcar yea iv installed a few curb mounted and not a fan. Raw edge of the gib basically goes up to the glass. Flash first and skylight sits on after, plus you dont get that seamless line on the inside
@@Wheeznbreezn I prefer the curb mount. The gib going up just short of the glass gives a seamless finish, you just see wall board and then sky rather than a timber frame around it. I also prefer curb mount as it moves the skylight away from the roof, and so away from water running down the roof. Good we have options to choose from as different people have their own preferences.
@@mycoolcar it just annoys my ocd that your gib is plumb but then has to follow the roof angle for about 140mm. We mainly only use them on low pitch roofs. Deck mounted on anything past 20°

So, good work. But a few notes from someone who has done a few thousand of these.
That skylight doesn't need to be mounted on a hob. It's designed to mount directly to the battens.
The standard flashing that comes with the skylight is totally different for that roof and would have taken 5 minutes to install.
If you install the bottom trimmers and timber of the hob plumb you can run the plasterboard plumb out of the bottom groove of the skylight directly to the ceiling. Much neater.
Installing your bottom of one of your side ceiling trimmers before placing the skylight on the roof gives you a much easier reference point then measuring too a level.
Good work with the flashings. You made it hard for yourself but pulled it off!
Get the sticker off the window pronto, otherwise the glue can be a pain to clean later.
i wouldve also taped the new building paper to the skylight frame, we use proclima, and thats a typical penetration detail for their products
I thought the same re: the hobb, just makes so much more work with framing and flashing. Installed one of these a few months back in about 45 minutes
Quite like the larger “V” diverter up top though. Simple and clever. I’m trying to think of a reason not to do it but it seems sound and functional. I did a couple years of skylight installs and never saw that.
I wondered about the hob as well. Every skylight I have seen on a roof has been mounted low and just protrudes from the roof-line.
@@TheDarkhorse82 that's a very regional thing. Normally where I've worked it would be a insulated blanket under the Corry which couldn't be closely sealed to the frame.
I honestly would have fully stripped and blanked the roof by this point. But different priorities for different regions
That nifty impact driver attachment let’s you install screws in a small Squarespace 😂

Hearing Scott say "so-feet" instead of "soff-it" absolutely sent me, wild hearing the differences in different parts of the world.

Hey Scott we call that flashing a soaker flashing in ireland where we do them we also seal chimneys the same way
This makes top 3 all time videos easily Scott!

Build your shafts out of steel corners and Rondo, eliminates timber movement.

If that's all you think is wrong with this, you need to go watch that guy that finds shamozzles everywhere.
Great job, Scott, skylights are a fantastic piece of kit - they make the interior look so much bigger. 😁👌👌❤️❤️👏👏
The lack of sheathing never ceases to amaze me
And on the exterior walls also! It's puzzling to me, coming from somewhere where there's a lot of snow (Québec).
That would be the roof on a farmers shed in Ireland. Most roof's here are just felt and batten with slate or tile as a finish. Most newer roofs here are counter battened. Having worked in America I believe that a sheathed roof is much better. The sheets give a tremendous amount of shear strength to a roof and make for a much less drafty roof.
Saturday morning a large cup of Dilmah tea , an episode of SBC , then off to the rugby club for some grassroots rugby :)
I love Saturday morning in bed with my coffee and SBC
That was a very entertaining video with 2 of my favourite top notch amateurs. Great job and it adds so much more light.
Nice work Scotty, Ray and Jess. Not an easy install for the home carpenter. Cheers
Cheers for all the brilliant content mate!
As a kiwi we so get ripped of with the price of building products, our older housing stock was very poorly insulated. Nice job on the skylight!
Great work - sky light makes a big difference!
I awoke early. I Scott Brown early. Life is yes.
😎 Always informative, entertaining and a wonderful start to the weekend!!☀️💐☀️
looks good! grab yourself a pleated insulated internal blind for winter, makes a huge difference!
Nice skylight in workshop and house. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️
Short and sweet. Looks great. Now take a pressure washer and test it for leaks lol. When you rock and paint it don’t forget to show us. Great job

That was amazing work. Well done!
Will we ever see Scott Brown the carpenter that we all grown to enjoy and bought his smoko time tee shirts again doing customers jobs. All is it now just about Scott renovating his house.
Strange how "simple" the structure of the roof is. Just metal, "paper" and chicken fence.
Old school, baby.
In Hawaii we used to leave out the paper. These days plywood decks are commonly used in some buildings.
My italian house has shingles and wooden beams. No insulation whatsoever
In Germany we go a great length for insulation. In the past not. Still, basically only metal would even 70 years ago like nothing. However, interesting to see the stuff from other countries.

9:07 is such a beautiful shot!
Be interesting to see a follow up in a few weeks or months to see how it has held up. Maybe a mounted camera to film rain being diverted
Interesting to see how you do it in New Zealand. Seems to be a very different approach to the German roofs I'm familiar with.
It's not how we do it I'm afraid. It's a balls up.
The fade out at 6:00 was really nice, Scott!
Speaking of rain, please prep yourselves for next week, i think the rains from Tue - Friday might be quite intense and sustained. Sydney just got two days worth of deluge, dropping a month worth of rains. Good luck guys.
Great job bro, But I think you also needed a vapour barrier covering the tunnel up to the window??
One thing that might look like is an LED strip in that light box. Turn on the light to the hallway and get a little extra from the skylight.
Hey Scott, what kind of watch do you wear in this episode? Do you think you can do an episode of all watches you have while working on construction, would love to see what works for you.

Tach! Aus dem schönen Westfalen Nähe Münster.
Und selbst?
Awesome seeing a Danish skylight on the other side of the world :D
Been waiting for this video for months now.
that honestly looks excellent
Great job Scott, jobs usually go well with a little well placed advice and help. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍
very interesting construction
Lovely.
You could name the video ‘ A Coupe of Amateurs Install a Skylight in a Roof Built by a Couple of Amateurs.’
Simplily awesome achivement , love the content
Really interesting how you did this. Good stuff
Amazing video as always. The skylight looks really good. This is way above amateur level, I'd say.
🌟 stars will look lush
Really loved the rainforest shots, maybe you should do more with those shots? As always excellent work, although as a German I wonder why there are no shingles but bare metal?!

Great video Scott and Co.
Love your videos i just wish they were longer!
Scott have you thought about installing a solar tube instead of a skylight. Great job on installing the skylight.
What inspired the choice to box the skylight above the roof instead of inside the roof?
That’s what I want to know. I thought these skylights sat on the battens. Still looks good though.
I would like to see you make a long board and or skate board one exciting episode...seems pretty simple but maybe its not??? Great work btw, watching Scott Brown after breakfast on a Saturday with the kids has become a bit of a ritual.
Great installation love your work😊😊😊😊
awesome as always

Hey Scott, just wondering why didn’t you use any aluband or aluflash type tape under the flashing? And why no flashing under the corrugated iron on the upper edge of the skylight.
Hi Scott. I'm from the UK and my son has finished his apprenticeship in carpentry. What would you recommend him getting for his first power and hand tools? I've said pick a brand, dewalt, makita etc and some hand tools. Like a decent hammer, levels, Japanese saws etc but what's your suggestions? Cheers
I think I figured it out! Scottsmen are rain magnets!
Solar tubes are another option
Night into day
Sharing this to NZ roofers page, pretty funny.
Now that is a professional job 🤣🤣
So many opportunities to segue into the SquareSpace ad and none used! Come on Brown - up your game! :-)
You missed the segue to the Squarespace ad when you mentioned the triangle shape of the light shaft 😂
I’ve been waiting for merch. Is there any coming? This person needs a shirt with a van on it to rep.
Just need to keep in mind that old roofers saying, 'Do your best, silicone the rest'! 😊
*Scott, now you just have to get the tall ladder out and climb up and take the sticker off the skylight 🙂.*
I think you need to tidy up the electrical cables in the ceiling space.
Any reason why you didnt screw it to the purlins? Doesnt need to be boxed up above like that. So much easier to flash when mounted to the purlins aswell
Also rip the roofing angle on the bottom purlin that lines up with the gib groove then your gib stays plumb all the way to the skylight.

I am assuming that you are intending to put plaster in the exposed area to finish it off?
Thank you and have a good day. PS What was the gather about?
8:19 OMG it's Scott Brown!
