Thanks so much - I called the mason and he is coming back to look at angling the stone. I found a pic of where it was originally angled down but when they reinstalled they flattened the lot. He told me he stands by his work so hoping to put this down to an error. looking at the 90 degrees...

Sounds like to do this properly I’ve got to get the mason out to re-angle the stone. On a plus might be easier to get the flashing in if they have to take it off.

Also the siding is cedar if that helps

Thank you. I have a pitch measurer and it’s dead flat (0 degrees). Does that change my options - do I have to have a drip edge? Totally get the logic of the edge but ideally wouldn’t want to cover the whole ledge in copper as that’d really look bizarre in terms of cosmetics. added an overhead...

Thanks, thought that might be the case…

Hey all Had my siding done a while back and they used copper flashing where it meets a stone facia at the bottom. I recently decided to extend the facia around the side of the garage but didn’t notice or discuss about putting any flashing in. my question is (although I don’t need the extra...

Yeah do it, I think they look amazing especially with the lift. The water / see through ones can be a little clacky when walking on so I’m going solid tiles. I wrote to them and asked if they were fine with the IMOBILE lift on top and they hold told me yes and they hold 80,000+ lbs! I’m...

Totally agree, my contractor built the wrong sized doors, couldn’t hang entry doors, forgot wall bracing, missed most nails with a nail gun, took 3+ months to come back and fix said wrong sized doors and made a complete mess.. the list goes on. I arrived at the same conclusion.. if I’m paying...

Yeah I’m with you. Currently I have just the front done but I’m going to do the sides too with flat stone. Want to get thinner than that the front though as my guy used thick block. That stuff you can put on with a nail gun looks amazing.. going to do that on my basement stairs. Glad you said...

Not hijacking at all, similar project, whereas mine is new it’s a lot of the same journey I’ve been on! Similar climate too! I’m planning on heading to your neck of the woods as you have a lot of ATV parks over there (another toy of mine) I even see you have a similar exposed foundation wall as...

It’s a lot of work, good news is we got time! :) Yours is similar, looks great! Do you have any venting or plan to? You going for an R38 or similar for insulation? Mine is plywooded to the roof edge into the knee wall over the TJI...more or less ready to go when or if I need to vent. I...

Hey all In zone 5 (CT) and in the start of finishing my new garage. I’m a bit stumped about what to do upstairs and would appreciate any advice on an approach. To set the scene, my garage is detached 24x26. Bottom floor has 13ft ceilings and TJI beams. I’m using a 7000watt electric heater on...

Hey all I’ve been building my custom two floor 24x26 for a while now and finally getting my doors put on next week which will be a big milestone enabling me to start thinking about finishing the interior. Note: this is an old pic as it showed the walls well. I have the electric in / approved...
