[RE-wrenches] L feet no flashing in shingle roof

[Drake]

Hi Jay,

There is no room for flashings.  The L feet will go very close to the 
skylights and the flashing would hit the edge of them.   Plus there 
is an existing array that was done by another installer that is done 
with L feet only.  The new array would be higher.
