Cover flashing

[Evalarsson36]

Close enough so that rainwater doesn't come from the facade above, the larger the eaves, the longer the distance can be. So in principle, a flashing isn't even necessary there; the window trim does the job for the few drops that might appear during, for example, a facade cleaning.

Thank you

Your window is not close enough to the eaves, and the flashing is not properly installed. Wasn't that the question you asked but you're not satisfied with the answer?

You need to read better. Where did I write that I absolutely want it in a particular way? I want to know how the sheet should be positioned and suspect that the carpenter is trying to trick me. And regarding buying a house. So if you have the chance to buy your dream house at a good price. The only issue is that the sheets need to be replaced for some reason. So would you say no?

You made an example which I responded to.

It is evident from your initial posts that you want it in black and white that he is wrong, and your replies and the posts you have liked have a high degree of risk constructions so I assume you prefer that.

You have to explain, why are you replacing the sheets on your dream house in your example?
If it is because it’s a faulty construction and therefore want to replace, you also need to account for the cost of that. If it's for aesthetic reasons, I have already responded to that.
The duty of investigation shows that it is incorrectly executed on your house and now you can either solve the risk construction or change the color depending on what you have calculated.

May I ask in your situation, why do you want to replace/move the drip edge?

And if it's an above flashing over a window that is close to the eaves, it is 100% risk-free, not a drop of water will get inside that flashing 😉

That is an incorrect statement. The risk is lower if it is close to the eaves in almost all cases.

True. You can also complain about a job 😏

Then you've bought something😉

And if it's an upper flashing above a window close to the eaves, it's 100% risk-free, not a drop of water will come inside that flashing 😉

That's right, and I didn't even consider that option as it was so obvious. 😎 At our vacation home, we have a window with a flashing, other windows/doors only have casings. The picture as an example, the window to the left has a flashing, and the others only casings, doors/windows can be even lower without needing a flashing. Here, it's an "unjustified" cost to put effort into flashings, guaranteed 100% that it's not needed. Then if a house's location is where it can rain horizontally, you have to judge it based on that house's conditions, which can never happen where our house is located.

Your window is not close enough to the eaves and the flashing is not installed correctly. Is that the question you were asking but you’re not satisfied with the answer?

Now I photographed a window on the ground floor because I wasn't keen on hanging out of the window on the upper floor to take a picture. It's simply easier to photograph that window 😏 I have more windows, after all. The flashing is installed the same way on all windows. Where did I say that I'm not satisfied with the answer?

 

[Evalarsson36]

Then I have bought something😉

Yes, I have bought a service

From your first posts, it is clear that you want to have clear evidence that he is wrong, and your responses and the posts you've liked have a high degree of risk constructions, so I assume you prefer that.

You need to explain, why should you change the sheets on your dream house in your example?
If it’s because it’s a faulty construction and therefore you want to change it, you also need to account for the cost of it. If it's for aesthetic reasons, I've already responded to that.
Through the duty of investigation, it becomes apparent that it is incorrectly executed on your house, and now you can either resolve the risk construction or change the color, depending on what you've budgeted for.

May I ask in your situation, why should you change/move the drip edges?

It's an example Helge 😏 it's not reality. It’s up to each individual why they want to make a change. Maybe you change the color of the house and want a different color on the sheet metal, for example. I have no plans to change any edges. Not right now at least.

I think this thread is starting to become comical. You haven't purchased a service from a carpenter but then you claim you have purchased a service. You point out that the carpenter is an idiot and can't comprehend what the forum's members write regarding how proper installation should occur. You show a picture of the intended window where the work was supposed to be performed but nothing has been done there. Then suddenly it's not even the window in the picture that's relevant. Keep trolling, I'm leaving this thread now..

If you read carefully, you'll understand how humorous you are. Why is it important to photograph the correct window? The flashings are the same on all windows.

 

[trojlee]

It's probably you who are being funny and presenting incorrect information and are unpleasant. But you have incorrectly mounted bleck.

So you've hired two carpenters to discuss how the flashing should be placed, but you’re not going to change any flashing?

What else do you need the carpenters for? What service have you purchased?

 

[Evalarsson36]

It's probably you who are funny and providing incorrect information while being unpleasant. But you do have a misaligned flashing.

Yes, I become unpleasant when people don't listen/read properly. If you're referring to unpleasantness

So you've hired two carpenters to discuss how the overflashing should be positioned, but you're not going to replace any flashings?

What do you need the carpenters for otherwise? What service have you purchased?

Read again. The question was how the flashing should be positioned. And that I suspect my carpenter is trying to deceive me. I have not hired any carpenters to discuss how something should be positioned. I don't need to write my entire life story to get an answer to a question 😏

If you refer to unpleasant as asking where you have read what you are writing about, then you should probably reconsider.
