At last some good weather arrived at the weekend, so in went the first skylight (a Heki Midi). As we'd done this before, thought it would be a day's work at most.....
However, and in spite of reading blogs form a good few other Iveco builders, completely under estimated how long it would take to cut the profiles for the swaged panels in the roof - doh!
The timber battening went on after a few false starts with the profile - but got there in the end. Used Skiaflex 221 - genius grip quality!
Once the timber frame was sorted for the inside, decided to use a plastic trim to make a liner for the skylight and to take up the space in the roof channels. Eventually, and with plenty of packing out and Sika 221, the frame was done...
The Heki was pretty easy to fit - just needed a good bead of Sika 512 around the groove on the upper fitting and in it dropped - to be tightened down by the fixing brackets. For the next one to go up the front - I'll leave a couple of days or at least start on the wooden profiles first!
