Sometimes I'm so confused.

Is it a roofing issue or a flashing issue or both.

Then I put it in one or the other, or both. Tell them to get it fixed. Then I walk away shaking my head in wonder.

Circle what we're supposed to be looking at. I'm not making the connection between establishing shot and the close up.

Missing drip edge? Is that sheathing we can see in the close up?

Framing error.

Is that a level valley depicted in that first photo?

I see the open void you are referring to (at the secondary kickout). Is it a flashing issue or roofing issue? I believe a flashing issue is a roofing issue. At this point it is a sealing issue.

I think it is really a job-site superintendent issue. If the super would have been on the ball, he would have caught it from the get-go.

I see this condition quite often, regardless of the type of system.

Sorry, I thought I'd said it was a cornice return.

The fascia metal doesn't fully cover the fascia board.

No metal drip edge.

No underlayment.

Opening for birds to get in.

You did, I just couldn't figure which cornice return.

It looks like the right drip edge profile would work; not a particularly big deal in my book, but then again, I don't look at many houses of this type.

Good sheet metal-iness is next to Godliness.

Hole in cornice return admits bats, flying squirrels. Flashing.
