Step 2 and 3: Apply ice and water shield onto the roof deck. Install the collar of the bathroom exhaust vent.  Add another layer of ice and water shield on top of the bathroom exhaust vents.

Step 4: Add caulking, in a horseshoe shape, on top of the ice and water shield around each collar of the bathroom exhaust vent. It is important to leave lower portion uncaulked to allow condensation to drain freely over protected roof.
