Hi,
I'm asking the question here instead of in my construction thread.
I (read: the carpenter) have installed skylights at our place. One of standard size and two others mounted as a double. I am now plastering and building walls and will soon be building the reveals. How would you do it? The answer "Buy Velux ready-made reveals" is not an option, I don't like them, I want plaster so it harmonizes with the walls. I also don't think they're available for double mounts.
What order?
Install plaster on the slanted ceiling first or the reveals first? Start at the top, bottom, or sides?
I don't have any pictures of how it looks today, it's of course plastic-covered and battens are set so I can screw the plaster into them. In my mind, it's simply a matter of starting randomly, pushing the board into the slot that exists on the window, but maybe someone else has better solutions?
Thanks!

I had started with the husks and let the plasterboard hang out a bit. Then it's easy to slide the wall panel against the protruding husk and saw along. Add the outer corner molding, putty, and paint.
