Tea? (Part 2)

Flashing kit???

A slate roof flashing kit for a Velux C04 window.

Might not happen today though as I managed to get my boots on but I doubt I will be able to do much more then that.
I suppose I could vacuum the muck off the window and give it a bit of a clean.

I still haven't learnt the amended Velux references yet... the old ones worked OK for me!
The flashing kit references are getting really complicated too- depending on the roof finish and whether the velux is standard one or recessed and/or top or centre hung [steady Rockaay].
Rooflights used to be so simple!

It will be one of the EDL / EBL / EKL types for a late roof I think.
It is made all the more difficult as this window was pre-used and doesn't have the window part of the flashing and so when I get the roof flashing I will need to make up the missing parts.
I am only assuming it is a C04 window as the ID plate has been painted over.

NT,
This should give you all the support you need to iorder the flashing kit with confidence... the installation shouldn't have changed if you get the rooflight code right.

Just found out one of my customers died last week, found dead in front of his PC no relatives apparantly.

Reminds me I really need to make a will after seeing the mess it can cause not leaving one.

 

[Night Train]

Thanks for that.
I have fitted three Velux windows in my house already and have just bought flashings randomly for slate roofs and made them fit. No problems so far for weather proofing.

Roof light code?

 

[Archie_tect]

They are GGLs instead of COs now... the table of sizes in the Brochure pdf will give you the current references....

Right, I have vacuumed the mess left from unpacking the Velux and cleaned the loose paint and dead bugs from it. The rubbish has been binned and I have cleaned and vacuumed the car. The rear passenger foot well is soaking wet, as are the headrests I stowed down there to fold the seats down!

I have exercised my clutch foot and I should be able to drive with no problems!

Then it rained!

But I am back in with

And may your tea always be hot, your cakes freshly baked and your friends be many and varied.

 

[Nihal]

Amen

That's grace done with.... pass the mashed potatoes Nihal.

 

[Night Train]

Food!
I have Mini Cheese Bakes from Aldi and a

I have cut out the ceiling in the proposed bathroom. The plaster and lathe ceiling is on the floor and will need tidying up. Lots of dust! The Velux won't fit between two rafters so I will need to cut one and rebuild around the opening. Not cut through the roof felt yet as there was a sudden storm.
I will tidy another time, when the dust has settled. For now I am showered and clean again.

Arch collected a load of those Douwe Egbert's glass coffee jars for me to use for storing cake ingredients. I have soaked off the labels and the coffee remnants and they are now in the dish washer for a proper clean. I will boil sterilise them later.

Archie, what have you done with Grace?

Has anyone noticed that loose slab on the patio?
