Hello everyone!
So far, I've managed to navigate around most of the problems I've encountered while working on my construction. But now it's right into the wall. Bang! I have no idea how to proceed.
The valleys look like my sketch. A U with wings.
The two meet at the ridge, and it must be watertight. Metalwork is not my strong suit.
How do you join/splice two such valleys to make it watertight?
Or is it just time to admit that I need to call in the professionals here??

I made a double seam "I think it's called that" and then single-seamed them together don't know if it's right but it gets perfectly tight.. but you should have a seam pliers and something to hammer against, a rubber mallet and a wooden block probably work just fine.
Here are some tools you should really have..
