Success! | Setting the Glazing.
Time is needed to install all the rubber gasketing onto the frame and to also make sure the frame is caulked properly and cleaned prior to setting the glass. The glazing is actually set quite quickly, although time is needed to install silicone butt joints as you go.

In Progress | Flashing – Weather-Proofing
Flashing is what connects the glass to the curb and to the shafts in a watertight fashion. It is not as fun or as dramatic as setting glass, however it is a very important part of the process in order to have a weatherproof project for many decades to come.
