"hard deck roof"
what is that? you mean fully sheathed as opposed to skip sheathing?
Yes the vycor

Yes, Advantech. I have extra 9'' wide vycore, figured it wouldn't hurt to strip that top in. But when I get to figurin' something is bound to escape my vigilance I don't install many skylights from scratch, often chase leakers tho'.
I hosed myself on the suppled step flashings, they want a 4" min. over lap. Being as I had a 5.5 exposure, I set my steps at that (more better in my mind) , the thickness of the cedar over breather, then made the downhill top of the steps too tall, so when I went to install the curb cover, it was up too high. I now need to trim the tops of the steps even with the skylight frame.
The supplied steps are those w/the tabs that fold to lock them ( no nails) so I need to cut them when I trim the steps down.

I run Vycor or ice and water shield around as a base flashing before any of the Velux flashing on all four sides, then the Velux system, then at top unless it is really steep pitch

Did Ice and water on the sheathing ALL around the velux except where the vycore meets the deck and up the sides of the lights, then the normal steps. I'll tape the top edge being as I have some left over.
It's 12/12.
Thanks.Z
