Yesterday, Jim did some experiments on how he wants to do the flashing and siding around the overhang. It's important to make sure that everything is covered the right way so that no water gets behind the siding. Cutting a trial piece...
Complicated flashing...
Doing some measurements for planning...
At this point, we had to clean up and went to see Mom and go to church.
Today, Jim came up with a new plan. He first wanted to make a practice piece. He also configured his shear differently so that he can use it to cut the ribbed siding and save all that handwork.
It worked perfectly! The siding went behind the step flashing to make sure water flowed over the top...
Now to make it for real! We put tape up to help prevent any scratches from the shear. First cut...
I marked the vertical cutting line...
Then Jim started the next cuts...
The piece is all cut - time to see if it fits!
Putting it up in place...
It's perfect!
So that means time to take it down again and mark the screw positions...
Pre-drilling...
Back up and fastening in place...
We had to dodge raindrops several times but we got the first piece figured out and up in place, so a great day!
