Well it was time to replace that old skylight in our cottage so I collected all the supplies I’d need and set to work. After two days of working non stop I got the old window out, the hole reframed and widened. Removed some of the old shingles around the hole and put the new skylight in place. After careful reading of the instructions re-shingling
and flashing went fairly well.

Unfortunately I was unable to fix the two short shingles from the original window. They wrapped up over the peak and would have involved a lot more shingle tear out. So for now I left them intact.
