Hiding Behind Insulation

[Tim Spargo]

Marcel.

Plastic L is not something I've used.... Why plastic L Marcel? Copper I understand, I'm assuming the Plastic L wears better "up there" (by YOU) than does galvy? Forgive my ignorance , we're much drier here than are you! I've used galvy and a config much like your own....or, minus the plastic L exactly like that.

The vycor, is that a self adhering or similar? I'm trying to remember the name of the butyl type I've use. Some of the self adhering types are my favorite in those areas as well to go over the flashing/L and be an intermediary between the metal and the draped over Moisture Barrier.

Thanks!

Tim, the ledger flashings sold up here are made in copper and plastic.
Some owners will buy the plastic to save money, the copper is real expensive, but that is my preference also.

David, so do you call it out when it is not there?

Catch it quick, it isn't all that hard to fix.

Catch it much later, it's a real bear!

Is Your house leaking? Have you checked? You should!

Yes sir, it is a state requirement here.

Here it is required by the IRC, but no one knows what that is anyways, so they never have one.
