Cover flashing

[Plupp 405730]

How do you calculate where the upper flashing will be?
I, who am switching to slightly smaller windows and replacing them after the facade is finished, have installed flashing outside the panel with an overlap

You always install the window first and then measure where the upper flashing will be in both height and how much to each side of the window.

I am having a discussion with my carpenter about how the flashing should be installed. We are not completely in agreement. Is there anyone here who is a sheet metal worker who can show pictures of how it should look? Wood paneling

Behind the paneling, outside the wind barrier. It would be insane to wet the paper so it can absorb water and (admittedly, marginally, but still) wet the insulation.

You always mount the window first, and then you measure where the overflashing will be both vertically and how much on each side of the window.

Yes, but as I wrote, I do it afterwards, not optimal but it has to be that way.

Then it will be as you have done, not really sure what you are after?

How do you calculate where the drip edge will be?
I am replacing with slightly smaller windows and replacing them after the facade is finished, and have placed the edge on the outside of the panel with a flange.

It requires a bit of figuring, or quite a lot actually, at least when I've done it.
Personally, I think that's precisely why the most common solution (by DIYers) tends to be to place the edges between the panel and the cover. Then it can't go wrong, even if it can't be right either

We have only heard what one side thinks, considering the way of expressing oneself here, there could be attitude problems on both sides?!

I get attitude problems when someone treats me like a little lady. And is condescending.

 

[Evalarsson36]

You have received a response now. Your carpenter is right, he hasn't done anything wrong, according to me and several here.

Ok.

 

[Plupp 405730]

I get attitude problems when someone "little dear" me. And is condescending

But that won't help you with your house, you can't change others' attitudes and social behaviors. Try to stick to the work that needs to be done.

Ok.

You should assess what is more important to you, getting good execution or finding a craftsman you get along with, because I am starting to suspect that you are the one with the problem.

He hasn't called me "lilla gumman." But the attitude is like that. Condescending and "you don't understand this" "don't come here and tell me how to do it" yet he asks if my male friend is my friend with benefits. What that has to do with the renovation is beyond me.

So you've been ranting throughout the thread about "lilla gumman," but he hasn't even said that?😆

Asking about friends with benefits, personal life, etc., is completely over the line and deserves a direct reprimand, but otherwise, I think you whiny, easily-offended women should just make an effort to hire only female craftsmen in the future, and good luck with that. Especially since it turns out that he was right and you were wrong technically. So his attitude of "you don't understand this" was indeed completely correct.👍

Asking about FWB, private life, and such is completely over the line and deserves an outright rebuke, but otherwise, I think you complainy, easily offended ladies should make a point of only hiring female craftsmen in the future, and good luck with that. Especially since it seems he was technically right and you were wrong. So his attitude of "you don't understand this" was obviously perfectly correct.👍

So damn good, nailed it🤣

Then it becomes like you have done, not sure what you are after?

If someone had a smart solution for me, but I can't really start doing things differently on the last page of the house

 

[nino]

It requires a bit of puzzling, or quite a lot actually, at least when I've done it.
I personally think that's why the most common solution (by DIY enthusiasts) is usually to place the brackets between the panel and the cover. Then it can't go wrong, even if it can't be right either

No, that's probably the case, I could wait to nail the panel just there, install the window, and cut the panel afterward.

I haven't said that I'm a trained carpenter. I wouldn't have asked what I think are knowledgeable people about how things should be done if I were. But when there's constant sighing and grumbling and moaning about everything that needs to be done, and things are presented in a condescending manner, I get pissed. If it's explained that you can't do it that way because... That's completely okay. You might want to study manipulation techniques a bit, but definitely don't emulate them. Maybe then you'll understand. When I point out that he hasn't made a threshold but it's just a pile of drywall under the door, and he sighs and says, "How do you suggest I solve it?" that's really unprofessional. Two wardrobe doors hit the floor because he was in a hurry. Can't be bothered to argue about it; I’ll just put washers under the hinges instead. A stick is lying loose. It was never fastened.

I haven't said that I am a trained carpenter. Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking what I believe are knowledgeable people about how things should be done. But when there is constant sighing, huffing, and puffing about everything that needs to be done, and things are presented in a derogatory manner, I get pissed off. If someone explains that it can't be done that way because... that's completely fine. Maybe you should study power techniques a bit, but absolutely don't emulate them. Then you might understand. When I point out that he hasn't made a threshold but it's just a pile of plasterboard under the door, and he sighs and says, "How do you think I should solve it?" it's extremely unprofessional. Two closet doors touch the floor because he was in a hurry. I don't feel like arguing about it, so I have to put shims under the hinges instead. A rod is lying loose. It was never attached.

Then you will have these problems with almost every craftsman!

And we're still waiting for a picture of what you consider to be incorrectly done🤔
