Norm omg I missed seeing this guy, new yankee's workshop, and the original second in command with Bob. Hell yea

Beautiful.

Excellent work Carly and crew!!!

Norm's back...wow...thought this was an old episode they were just uploading.

Those long screws are awesome. Anyone know what they are? Spax?

7:15 Why does the curb overhang by 3/4" ...for drywall? And the interior of the curb will simply be painted? Also at 7:15 looks like they installed hangers for the joist headers which were not shown during the interior video shoot.

Norm Abram has to be the best carpenter in the world!

Good video but I have to issue you with a STOP card and ask you to take a TOFS...there is more slack in your safety line than the height of the roof meaning you will simply go SPLAT (technical term from oil industry)...

No insulation around the skylight frame that extends above the roofline?

Eric R Nope. It isn’t necessary as the dimensional lumber if rubber applied tight, is a good enough insulator to avoid frost or condensation.

Thanks for showing how and sharing that

So curious what the finished skylight looked like from inside.

At 7:44 I don't know how much help that safety harness with 30 feet of slack rope on a 10-foot drop is going to be.)) But, I love the show and the work is top-notch!

I wonder of they have skylight into metal roofs. It's hilarious that I have no issues with asphalt, and rubber roofs. Scared of a metal roof screwing it up.

Good job Tom arrived to make sure the job was done right.

😊

It fascinates me the difference in other countries. It must be a warm location with the thickness of the insulation in that roof which would be around 80mm here. It must be a very high-performance board for that thickness. Also, any kerbs where I'm from need a min of 25mm insulation as there's nothing preventing cold bridging and that 45-degree edge also made from insulation as opposed to that piece of timber to prevent the same thing. And any flat roof lights require a 3-degree pitch.

The safety rope on your workers is greater than the height to the ground. So your workers will already fall to the ground, and the insurance will not work ....
