Well, the Velux window is in. It works fine and is lovely. Lots of
light in a hitherto dark room! The Flashing kit meets the profile of
the older windows, including the fact that older windows sit higher.
In fact there are fewer parts than the original flashing kit... An
absolute torrential downpour happening now and [scurries off to check]
completely dry and drip-free. I took the time to get slaters to
re-slate the hip end of the roof the window went in, cleaned the
boards and lined it with Tyvek. A nice Job well done. They have fitted
a few of these as well and gave it the thumbs up.

Nice job...

Velux technical returned my call about 10 minutes after all tools were
packed away to say that the old style Velux window will most certainly
not fit a new flashing kit. I didn't argue with them. Just said thanks
and left it at that.

Oh well [s******] its in now

Comments about stable doors and horses spring to mind. Nice when you
find a company that really knows their own products huh.
