How To Install a Skylight | This Old House

I wish they would add like an extra 10 seconds at the end to show the finished product.

[BigcatMilo]

They are 10 ft off the ground and have 20 ft of slack of rope 🤣

"Norm & Charlie framed for the forgotten Carly.

Good to see Norm, the master carpenter. How many times did I watch the new yankee workshop completely hungover.

[HarrisonD]

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

[mpwall]

Man...fine, rough, structural-carpentry, and furniture making. Is there anything Norm doesn’t do? Amazing guy.

[davcot]

I know when I watch TOH I am going to see the job done right by confident experienced experts
So many hacks out there
I always learn something

[numbr]

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

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.

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)...

[MichelleGlauser]

So curious what the finished skylight looked like from inside.

[blubberbooty]

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

[James-wkmj]

Charlie is the real backbone of Silva Bros lunchpale guy dosent need all that fancy Festool 1000$ this and Festool 800$ domino joiner that Practical man

[ThebitVideos]

That flashing job is done so wrong. The rubber should I be pinched under curb with a separate wall sheet or fasteners around the curb and a separate wall sheet. That curb is going to bridge out in the future.

[ericrzz]

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

[kyakarrenamiyaan]

something soothing about watching old people work

[DB_-]

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!

[j.lo.]

WOW, such an unsafe practice at minute 2:01 - 2:03. Someone could've gotten hurt pretty bad.

[hammer_]

"... and it'll never leak."


Yeah, right.

[sdolman]

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