Cover flashing
No, she didn't get an answer about whether the flashing should be over or under the windproofing. And with all the different suggestions, I understand that she wants information to be able to show the carpenter/court. If you think the thread creator is nagging, you have no obligation to stay in the thread.T trojlee said:
What is the job the carpenter hasn’t finished then? You haven’t even bought a service, you say. You’re feeding the thread with inaccuracies and are generally unpleasant. I’m actually starting to understand if craftsmen are avoiding you.E Evalarsson36 said:What do you think I should call him then? When it's impossible to discuss with a person and everything is just sighs and groans. The job isn't finished, and when you point out that we must fix this, the response is: How do you think I should solve it? All the time, and also intruding on the customer's private life, I have no other suggestion.
Can't be bothered to go over the whole story. Especially since most aren't literate either. My question was how the flashing should be placed, simply put. I haven't purchased the service to replace windows. But I bought other jobs. Let's drop this now. Especially since it's hard to understand what I'm writing. No wonder it gets frustrating when there's constant guessing.T trojlee said:
Well, it's important to be clear, which you are not. You're good at calling people names, but you have a hard time reflecting on your own personality.E Evalarsson36 said:Can't handle telling the whole story.

Which part is unclear?T trojlee said:
Yes, post #14 is in my eyes so clear that the excess paint should not be applied behind the windbreak that TS can show it to the carpenter and ask him to explain why Nordiska fönster is wrong. What problems remain?
Now I'm not following. So the flashing can be placed under the covers only? Or am I misunderstanding you?S Simsgrodan said:
Have you read Nordiska fönster's instructions? I have read several of their instructions for different products and all of them show behind the wind barrier. Then one can wonder what responsibility they have for professional execution.S Simsgrodan said:
What I mean is that I interpret the picture as suggesting that the flashing can be placed on top of the wind barrier. I then did some googling and found https://www.nordiskafonster.se/uploaded/Dokument-2023/monteringsanvisning_tra_tra-alufonster.pdf. There, I think they clearly state that the flashing should be under the wind barrier. So I understand if you're feeling confused. I'm not saying how it should be, just how I interpret the pictures. Then I can add that in our roughly 110-year-old house, there's not even wind barrier, and we have no moisture problems... Maybe the problem is mostly theoretical?E Evalarsson36 said:
